How to Encourage Faculty to Engage in External Communications

Many of the pro activism pundits who view the NRA as a problem (which would be me), will applaud …

How Researchers Can Adopt a PR Mindset

By Kevin Anselmo Kevin Kelly, co-founder of Wired magazine, noted the following in a BBC story: “Truth is no longer dictated by authorities, but is networked by peers.
