My research focuses on investigating how to design messages to improve environmental, science and health communication. Specifically, I examine what message factors can influence the psychological mechanisms that promote and hinder individual behaviors and policy support in different contexts, including climate change, emerging energy technology development, environmental inequality, and infectious diseases. The ultimate goal of this line of research is to promote sustainability in various ways.
