Diane Huskinson is the associate director of communications at Stroud Water Research Center, where she leads strategic storytelling that strengthens public understanding of freshwater science and builds support for protecting rivers and streams. She serves as the Stroud Center’s lead narrative voice, editor, and brand steward — shaping how the world sees and values the only independent, nonadvocacy research organization dedicated solely to freshwater ecosystems. 

With two decades of experience in environmental communications and the nonprofit sector, Diane brings a mission-driven approach grounded in clarity, integrity, and human connection. Her work has earned top-tier media placements, expanded recognition of the Stroud Center’s science, and inspired people to volunteer, donate, subscribe, and take action. Before joining the Stroud Center, she ran a communications consultancy, edited an award-winning green industry magazine, and copyedited books for Big Five and scholarly publishers. Through it all, she has helped scientists, industry leaders, and authors communicate complex ideas with precision, care, and impact.
