"Michele brought an energetic delivery and valuable insights as our keynote speaker. She challenged us, as scientists, to step outside our 'science comfort zone' and actively share our expertise with a broader audience. Her workshop was especially effective, with role-playing exercises that gave us practical tools."

Christi Calhoun, PhD, American Meat Science Association
