volunteer to help
We need your help! Come join the team building and growing the web site. Help us as much or as little as you can: if you only have a few minutes a week, that still counts.
Email us to join the team. Let us know which aspect(s) you’d like to participate in!
We’re looking for help with:
-
Writing: We have a list of suggested ideas that people have sent in. We need help turning each of those suggestions into a complete little story, as in each of the example pages. Doing that takes a little work, but is super-fun. You get to learn about some fascinating science, perhaps out of your field, and you’ll help transmit that to others. And you can do it entirely at your own pace.
-
Editing: Each example that gets written up benefits enormously from having more than one pair of eyes on it, heping to improve its readability. Fact-checking (including making sure all the links are functional and point to relevant pages) is critical.
-
Sourcing suggestions: In addition to ideas that people send in, there’s a lot to be gained from doing our own efforts to track down ideas to include, and adding them to our suggestions list.
-
Raising the site’s visibility: Help us promote the site’s visibility, by sharing it with your friends, helping recruit other volunteers, helping with our social media accounts, and participating in other efforts to help people know it exists.
