Straight talk about research

My former university, Oklahoma State University, recently featured my work in the Vice President for Research Straight Talk about Research (STAR) series. I'm honored to be included in this really important science communication (the the broader audience--i.e. public-facing) effort. Like a Three-Minute Thesis (3MT), it provides researchers an opportunity to explain to non-experts what they do and why it is important, preferably jargon free.
