Publication: Math & Physics Have this Figured Out
• arXiv – preprints let you see & discuss information NOW– Journals still the final arbiters & Quality assurance
• Little culture of preprints in Ecology & Evolution– ESA (currently) not allowing submission of papers on arXiv

I Don't Have Time for This (blogging)!
1. Make this part of your NSF broader impacts2. You do not have to do this alone– Lab blogs– Field station blogs– Project blogs
3. Do you keep a lab notebook?4. How do you become a better writer? Write!5. Aggregators make tracking even infrequently
updated blogs simple
