Abstract Rosa Navarro-Haydon played a fundamental role during a critical turning point in the history of science education in Puerto Rico.

Rosa Navarro-Haydon was one of the first scholars to engage in science communication activities in Puerto Rico, such as writing science magazine articles for the general public.
