Contaminants are shifting microbiomes and impacting human health. How are contaminants impacting plant health and microbiomes? How can we promote science outreach about impacts of contaminants on the phytobiome (a plant, its environment, and associated organisms)? When tackling these questions, it is key to overcome a lack of knowledge first of contaminants and second of plants in K-12 and postsecondary, an amazing opportunity to increase learning in innovative, new and existing programs. Ecological Society of America and other societies are linked up with PlantingScience, a K-12 mentoring program, and could be approached. University students could learn in experiential working groups.
