"The call to bring more science more effectively to the public has grown significantly louder and broader over the past several years. Congress has called upon the federal agencies to provide the public with better and more of the information they receive funds to produce. Universities are increasingly trying to get the results of their research to the public to bring attention to their programs and meet their growing needs. Industry and non-profits are scurrying to promote their own data products and environmental news to win contracts and new supporters. And with a better-informed public, we all hope for a citizenry that makes wiser decisions, personal choices, and that will back candidates and policies that provide for the investment in and protection of the environment.
