title: Engaging in Effective Science Communication: A Response to Blancke et al. on Deproblematizing GMOs.
abstract: As science communication scholars, we encourage interdisciplinary efforts such as those by Blancke, Grunewald, and De Jaeger to engage with the public on GMOs and genetic engineering broadly. We extend the advice given by these scholars with tips based on what we know from the science of science communication.
