## Caption

Lake Mattamuskeet is #NorthCarolina's largest natural #lake, but decreased #vegetation in the lake means its health is in trouble. Applied #ecology grad student @AprilDLamb94 is working to change that, but little did she know she needed both #science and #communication skills to get others to support her #research.

I was genuinely worried that I would say something too science-y – or just plain wrong – and jeopardize the whole endeavor. But looking around, I realized something that resonates with me to this day – we’re all on the same team. Despite differences in background, occupation, personal biases, whatever, every person in that room shares  a common goal: to make Lake Mattamuskeet healthy again. — April Lamb #CALSMagazine #SciComm
