As a health literacy professional, Andrew published 75 papers, nine chapters, and one book, becoming, over these years, very active from a local to an international level as a community researcher, university faculty member, and community organization leader. Across diverse settings, he wrote and shared his thoughts formally and informally to generate conversation about health literacy, science communication, environmental sciences, community engagement and public health, among many other topics. It was a labor of love for Andrew to communicate complex health and scientific information to people most in need of understanding information within the context of their lives, always reminding to those who had the privilege to share professional and personal experiences with him that we need to ask people, early and often, if we are getting it right and, when we are not, ask them how to do better. Accompanying his many written contributions to the field, Andrew\u2019s legacy is his passion to appreciate, listen, and learn.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/isu-230184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,2]],"date-time":"2023-06-02T13:17:01Z","timestamp":1685711821000},"page":"151-159","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Remembering Andrew Pleasant\u2019s career and contributions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Catina","family":"O\u2019Leary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Literacy Media,  St.\u00a0Louis,  MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Zarcadoolas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Environmental Medicine & Public Health, Community and Preventive Medicine, NY, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederico","family":"Peres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brazilian National School of Public Health,  The Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (ENSP\/Fiocruz),  Rua Leopoldo Bulhoes 1480,  Sala 29 - CESTEH,  Manguinhos,  Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ISU-230184","volume-title":"Advancing Health Literacy: A Framework for Understanding and Action","author":"Zarcadoolas C.","year":"2006"},{"key":"bibr2-ISU-230184","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.51952\/9781447344520.008"},{"key":"bibr3-ISU-230184","first-page":"3","volume":"240","author":"S\u00f8rensen K.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Stud.
