Nicole Kelp, Ashley Anderson, and Melissa Burt are CSU professors, scientists, and parents. Collectively, they argue that scientists have a responsibility to tackle the climate crisis and misinformation through good science communications. They seek to humanize science and connect with new audiences through inclusivity, interconnectedness, and shared values. They are Changemakers.
Changemakers understand that our species is facing many crises. These crises threaten human and animal life, public health, and the environment. We will not solve them alone. We will solve them together with courage, collaboration, and action. We dedicate this issue to all of the Changemakers who are pioneering a better future.
