Please introduce yourself and explain why you want to join this network. Membership may be denied for people who do not answer this question in sufficient detail: I head up communications at HarvestPlus. I am interested in learning more about science communication, both as someone who works with the media, and also writes for different audiences. I'm particularly interested in how you make ag/nutrition science accessible to non-scientific audiences and exploring how web 2.0 can help us in our communication efforts.
