Students in Elizabeth Borer's graduate seminar on the causes and consequences of changes in biodiversity created a series of podcasts on various aspects of extinction. The podcasts are designed to make the topic accessible to a broad audience. "Science communication is a really important part of the job of a scientist," says Borer. "Regardless of the career path a scientist chooses, engaging a wide variety of audiences is critical for making science accessible and demonstrating the relevance of science in society."
