In a time when it is easier to communicate than ever, miscommunication still runs rampant. A simple mistake, omission, or misstep in written or oral communication can lead to missed project deadlines, poor chemistry (or inaccurate results), injured relationships, and severe cost increases.  As a critical part of the scientific community, it is paramount that chemists communicate clearly, concisely, and often with all stakeholders. In order to further this endeavor, we invite anyone reading this abstract to join us while we discuss common issues that are encountered when performing analytical work for the agrochemical industry. We propose to use an interactive platform with audience participation in our discussion. Topics will include concrete examples of how miscommunication in correspondence, protocols, methods, and reports affects us all in our pursuit of sound science.<br/>
