In our second season of SciComm Conversations, we speak with science-communication researchers about their work. In this episode, Prof Bruce Lewenstein from Cornell University explores the question of whether public engagement make science better. Bruce discussed this topic in the context of work done at Cornell’s Center for Research on Programmable Plant Systems (or CROPPS).

The interview was recorded at the international conference of the Public Communication of Science and Technology (PCST) network.
