University of Florida (UF) agricultural and natural resources (ANR) faculty and a graduate student are providing social science expertise on a National Science Foundation (NSF) Poorly Sampled and Unkown Taxa (PurSUit) grant-funded project alongside environmental scientists documenting nematological research in the Nebraska Sandhills. The project focused on high-alkaline lakes, where UF and University of Nebraska nematologists and their graduate students collect lakebed soil samples to investigate nematode species that may reveal how organisms adapt to climate change and how the ecosystem maintains homeostasis. Through a documentary-style approach, our social science team captured the research process via video, photography, and podcast-style audio recordings. Our presentation will discuss the deliverables we created to provide researchers with compelling science communication tools that highlight their work as well as how these materials act as educational resources in our classrooms, demonstrating how communicators can collaborate with scientists to demystify the nature of science and how it works. By incorporating raw footage from the field into our ANR communication courses for hands-on, project-based learning (PjBL) students are able to develop their own multimedia products. In this presentation, we will a) introduce the nematode research project through our field footage, b) explain how we implemented the fieldwork into our PjBL courses across two campuses, and c) showcase some of the students’ completed projects and their nematology learning. This initiative is in partnership with The Streaming Science Project, a student-driven, PjBL program designed to enhance science literacy. With its mission to connect public audiences—particularly middle and high school students and educators—with real-world scientists and pressing agricultural and environmental issues, the program leverages diverse multimedia platforms to inspire the next generation of science communicators. By integrating field documentation, education, and outreach, this project exemplifies how interdisciplinary collaboration can amplify the impact of scientific research and communication.
