The purpose of the blog is to capture the “who” in Public Lab. It is a space for people to share out! Beyond the research, beyond the discussion lists... Who is here and why? Start a post by clicking here: Post to the blog ### Examples of content for the Public Lab Blog: #### Stories * Learning about something new, * Discovering pollution in your community, * What got you involved in Public Lab, * Your interests or ideas in the Public Lab community, * Something that has been on your mind related to Public Lab. #### Reflections and Observations * What it has been like to work on a project, * On conversations in google groups, the wiki or amongst your community, * Thoughts you had after attending an event or an OpenHour. #### Cross-posting from other sites * Posts from somewhere else that you'd like to share with others in Public Lab (Be sure to reference your sources!) * News, * Articles, * Reviews. #### “Action Alerts” or request for specific assistance * Something your community is pushing for that you'd like to get the word out about, * Something new that you want to bring to people's attention.
