The ability to clearly communicate scientific facts to the public is an essential skill for all scientists, especially as many of the products we use in daily life function through chemistry. This work contains different approaches taken by faculty to present chemical information to students and the public. With chapters on classroom practices, the incorporation of art and popular media, and academic and communication opportunities, this work will inspire educators
to find creative ways to communicate chemistry with students and the public.
