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
Appellate rulings contribute to policy deliberations on uses of and parameters for expert testimony. As courts perform gatekeeping and evaluative roles, opinions highlight investigative independence, calculations of probability, and consistency across studies. Even so, the elements from expert testimony most commonly extended into precedent stand out for their summative concision and figurative cogency.
