Getting the results of your research out in front of the public can be both very rewarding and very challenging. The typical methods of research outreach for ecosystem science include presenting at research meetings and conferences and publishing articles in science. We list some of the opportunities for presentations below and recommend speaking with your research advisor about publications. However, one could also consider other audiences and means of outreach, including social media, news media, websites, etc. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
