THANK YOU

A class and publication like this doesn’t live within the normal parameters – or funding models – of a university. This work happens with support from The Roundhouse Foundation, The Dixon Family, the University of Oregon Center for Science Communication Research, the Deans of the Schools of Journalism and Communication, and the many staff and faculty at the SOJC who helped us along the way to keep the work moving forward.
