We’re proud to see one of our students, Lauren Tucker, featured in Virginia Tech News, for her work in translating public health research into accessible, community-focused communication. Through her involvement with the COMPASS Center and Center for Communicating Science at Virginia Tech, Lauren has contributed to a wide range of initiatives aimed at making science more accessible and engaging.

NSF COMPASS member Hannah Brown presented her research on hepatitis E, a zoonotic virus that can spread from animals to humans, at Science on Tap, a monthly event held at Rising Silo Brewery. The series is sponsored and supported by the Center for Communicating Science and Virginia Tech’s chapter of Sigma Xi.
