In today's episode, we catch up with Dr. Jessy Ohl, a MA alum from the College of Communication and Information Sciences, who is now an associate professor of communication in the Department of Communication Studies. We cover so much amazing ground in this conversation and you definitely don't want to miss any of it.  Jessy breaks down some of his more recent research involve visuals and what they communicate to viewers about issues, our views of history, narratives about war, and public memory. Jessy tells us about a study he did that looked at images of drones and how in and of itself, the drone is often used in acts of war, but the image of it, depending on the way you see, may not convey all of the death and destruction it created. We talk about ants in offices and how he may now be secretly deemed not the best suite mate by his colleagues because of a whole ant situation, and we talk about his path into academia. We cover a lot of ground here, and you should stay along for the whole ride!
