This Is What Science Looks Like at NC State: Lynsey Romo

Editor’s note: This post was written by Lynsey Romo, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication. The post is part of an ongoing series that we hope will highlight the diversity of researchers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The series is inspired by the This Is What A Scientist Looks Like site.

My name is Lynsey Romo and I’m an assistant professor of interpersonal and health communication. I study communication about uncomfortable issues, particularly surrounding money, weight, and healthy but deviant behaviors (e.g., not drinking alcohol) in hopes of helping people talk about these matters more effectively.

In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my dog Bruni, running (I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon), and traveling. Here’s a picture of me at the Great Wall.
