The Cannon River
The
Question
My research question is the focal point of my project. Here it is:
How
can I, as a science writer, more effectively distribute
place-based scientific information about the Cannon River Region?
To
answer this question, I strive to do four things:
- Understand and practice
the mechanics of good science
writing (vocab,
syntax, accessibility, statistics, etc.)
- Do the place-based scientific writing about
environmental issues
- Distribute the resulting scientific
writing pieces in a
print source available to the general public
- Wonder about science, about writing,
about the Cannon
River Region, and inspire others to do the same
Explanation
of my Methodology:
Any research project necessitates a
methodology. My methodology is
multifarious:
- It is exploratory and
question building: it explores scientific areas deserving of
public attention, and asks questions about those areas.
- It is a localized case study:
it provides local scientific information and brings it to the attention
of the Cannon River Region.
- It is a public service and information gathering
project: it gathers and distributes information that
hopefully will bolster a greater understanding of the Cannon River
Region through science.
An understanding of place is as important as any other aspect of
science writing. Continue on to Connecting
to Place...
