The Science Communication Project @ISU was founded in 2010 with the goal of enhancing collaborative research on, education for, and the practice of public science communication, broadly conceived. Our biennial symposia- which include public presentations of multidisciplinary research and interactive workshops- bring together a network of scholars who share interests in public engagement of science, environmental communication, natural resource management, and agriscience. Conference proceedings showcase research, evaluations, and critiques of science communication-related practices and phenomena.

Abstract
The 6th ISU Summer Symposium on Science Communication was held at Iowa State University from June 7 to 9, 2018. Hosting this biennial symposium series is a central activity of the Iowa State Science Communication Project, an interdisciplinary collaboration that aims to enhance research on, education for, and the practice of public science communication. Over 60 national and international scholars and practitioners of science communication attended the symposium and engaged in frank discussion about the processes, rhetorics, perceptions, benefits and limitations of credibility and trust within the context of science communication.
