Effective communication in, around, and about science is essential. This talk focuses on three seemingly unrelated topics: sharks, space, and students. The social scientific examination of communication patterns in these contexts can provide us with valuable information to affect health, increase quality of life, and strengthen program effectiveness. This talk provides diverse examples, discusses novel methodologies, and explains what communication can tell us if we listen carefully.
