ENCYCLOPEDIA OF EARTH
Are you alarmed that the general public seems woefully uninformed – or misinformed -- about critical environmental issues and basic ecological science? So are we. Well, here is your chance to do something about it!
We invite you to join a new effort to promote ecological literacy via the online Encyclopedia of Earth (EoE). With >3,400 articles published so far and >10,000 page views per day, the EoE has established itself as the premier authoritative source of online
information on the environment. It combines the currency and power of web-based collaboration with the trustworthiness of scientific content review.
Specifically, we are coordinating development of "The Ecology Collection", which aims to cover the basic principles of ecology in outline form to provide "one-stop shopping" for teachers and other users needing basic, authoritative ecology information. Our goal is to have the collection significantly filled out by the end of July and we seeking authors who will pledge to contribute an article before Friday, July 11.
Why should you contribute? First, popular EoE articles are viewed hundreds of times per day; traffic is growing by 20% per month. Thus, you can reach a far greater audience compared to other forms of publication. Second, EoE articles make a difference. Users such as
teachers, students, decision makers and concerned citizens use EoE content to effect change in the world. Finally, (we know that this is important), your contribution should take little effort. We seek concise articles, one or a few pages, which can probably be lifted from your existing lecture notes. EoE staff will help make the conversion as easy as possible. If you like, the EoE is happy to recognize your efforts by sending a letter to your supervisor acknowledging your contribution to this important outreach effort.
EoE and ESA share the goal to "promote and enhance ecology education for students of all ages and for the general public." We are very interested to hear from you how the EoE might better serve the needs of both teachers and the general public in building ecological literacy.
Please join us! You can contact either Emmett or Mark or both at the email addresses below.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope you will contribute an article before the July 11 deadline and help us meet our goal.
Sincerely, Emmett Duffy, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, jeduffy@vims.edu
Mark McGinley , Texas Tech University, mark.mcginley@ttu.edu

ESA is pleased to be a new Content Partner of EoE. Over the next few weeks, we will be adding content from the Ecology fact sheets on EoE. You can participate too! Find out how from the message below by EoE Topic Editors Emmett Duffy and Mark McGinley, who are coordinating "The Ecology Collection". We hope you will support this effort.

SOIL SCIENCE SOCIETY SURVEY
The Soil Science Society invites ESA members to take part in a Soil Science Society of America survey at http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB227QJZN76FX , developed to identify soils research priorities for use by federal agencies (USDA-CSREES, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy Offices of Science and Fossil Energy, NASA, and others) when developing their annual research budget priorities and requests. It is very important
that the stakeholder community participate, if we are to ultimately see real increases in funding for soils research. Thanks so much.

ADDED VISIBILITY FOR RESEARCH AT SCIENCE NEWS DIRECT
Generally, MS or PhD theses are read by very restricted audience. Sometimes colleagues in the same lab may not read the full content of thesis of another colleague. This is mostly due to unavailability of hard/soft copy of the same. Here, I am trying to solve this issue by
putting forward a blog exclusively for theses.
You can re-publish abstract of your research papers, conference proceedings, or even full text or abstract of your thesis in our site for better visibility. This is a free service. The URL of the site is http://www.sciencenewsdirect.com/ . If you are interested, send an email to contact@sciencenewsdirect.com with your name, affiliation, and qualifications. I will set up an account for you so that you will be able to upload your thesis from your PC.
So tell your friends! Thank You, Thripthi, 1G, Horizon Park, Althara Road, Vellayambalam, Trivandrum, Kerala, India 695010. Ph. +919895211299
