From Vice Provost for Research
Gary Koretzky

Scientists and scholars get years of training on how to properly document their methods and insights for other experts. But the challenge of explaining research to the public often falls to journalists. A new Research & Innovation initiative will help Cornell researchers communicate the significance of their work to a broad and interested public. The initiative, a partnership between Research & Innovation and University Relations, is made possible by donors who participated in Giving Day.
