Hi All,

I’m not sure what this list is for anymore? I would like to see some ‘communication’ between ‘communicators’ about ‘communication’ instead it seems to be a manifesto of PR happenings. Can we use it to talk about science communication or not? This is the third time I’ve tried to communicate something on this list. Let’s see if it gets through??
