My impact as a scientist in Starkville, Mississippi

Mississippi State University Associate Professor Barbara Kaplan writes in the Starkville Daily News: My career as an immunotoxicologist is important to me, but I want to share why it should be important to you. As a scientist, I teach and do research; specifically, I do this at Mississippi State's College of Veterinary Medicine. I have also made it a priority to continue to learn to be an effective communicator of my sciences, so that I can tell anyone who has an interest about my research and its significance. However, what I have not done well in my career is talk about how science is done -- at least at universities -- and how scientists make an impact on everyday lives. This article is part of a broader effort by scientists across the country to talk about science.
