Next week I am excited to be participating in a unique conference organized by the Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies. The Institute is bringing together top scientists, journalists, policy experts, and communication researchers to focus on "Effective Communication of Science in Environmental Controversies" with a series of symposia articles to be produced based on the presentations. Headliners include the NY Times' Andrew Revkin and Nature columnist David Goldston.
At the conference I will be presenting on new models for science and environmental journalism, a topic very much top of mind for me as I burned long hours the past few weeks finishing an NIH proposal with this focus.

Other than yourself, who on the list would be considered an expert on environmental communication? I don't see any particular names from the sub-field...
There's nobody from the communication department at Cornell, George Mason, or Wisconsin - the top programs. I also don't see any of the current or former editors of the main science communication journals.
I hope one of your messages to the group will be that if they want to talk about communication and the environment they should turn to the science communication/risk communication sub-field.
