Hey Ecologers, A really innovative website called Publiscize (www.publiscize.com) just launched that helps scientists write layperson summaries about their research. They are trying to give scientists a voice about their research to improve science communication and help educate the public. They also help spread the word about all the posted research on social networks.
The founder, Rob Seigel, who has a PhD in atmospheric science and is an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the University of Miami, developed the website due to his frustration with communicating his research and science in general with the public. Go check it out and support it; it is a great initiative! Cheers, Ben
