—  Extension  —

Although I have never had an official appointment in extension, I think it is a vital piece of the Land Grant Mission. I seek to communicate research to the public and provide practical information to industry, consumers, and policymakers.

Below are examples of outreach articles, which I consider extension output, and stakeholder groups that I have interacted with.
