Hello everyone! Myself (Josh) and a small independent team are trying a new means of supporting public engagement and accessibility in science and we need your help! We've recently launched: http://brevy.org which is a guided-interface wiki to collect plain-language, open summaries of peer-reviewed research. Brevy handles a lot of things for you automatically, so it's easy to add a quick summary without any web/coding knowledge. To get this going, we really could use the help of the community to start populating the wiki with a pool of summaries. Here's a couple of easy ways to help: - Add a summary of your own work or the most significant research in your field - Assign making a summary as part of any courses you might teach (great way to introduce undergraduate or early grad students to real research while contributing to a meaningful framework) - Encourage colleagues, especially professors, you know to add summaries or have their classes do as well - Share it on social media or relevant mailing lists Thanks, and let me know if there's any questions! -Josh over at Brevy ********************************************************************** psci-com how-to: Once subscribed, send emails for the list to [log in to unmask] If not subscribed, either subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com or send reqests for items to be posted on your behalf to [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe (or silence messages while away) send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask] with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) • signoff psci-com (to leave the list) • set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) • set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) Contact list owner at [log in to unmask] Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print **********************************************************************
