Michelle Kilfoyle

Science/Research Communications Specialist

I am a science communicator. I translate academic research into easy-to-grasp and compelling content for policymakers, practitioners and the wider public to support research impact and engagement.

Biography

I joined the Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI) in 2025 to deliver communications for large EU-funded environmental and agricultural projects. These include:

  • SPRINT – assessing the environmental and health risks of pesticides, exploring more sustainable methods of plant protection
  • TERRASAFE – working with communities across Southern Europe and North Africa to test new methods of combatting desertification

I produce web content, social media, reports and more to inspire interest in the research findings beyond academic circles, and communicate their value for policy and practice.

Qualifications

MSc Science, Culture and Communication, University of Bath, 2007
