[](null)Read about cutting edge techniques in hacking environmental science in our **_Community Science Forum_,** our research journal/archive/zine/map where we share ideas, techniques, and stories. The _Community Science Forum_ is printed on a 22.75x35" sheet of acid-free paper, and includes a full-color reproduction of our projects along with essays, illustrated guides, and interviews. It's a great way to stay abreast of the latest in the DIY environmental science movement. Links provided to online versions of most articles.
