General Interest-EurekAlert - New USDA/REE News Release Web Site; December 30, 2010

 

 

Working with the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s premiere science portal for journalists and policy makers, EurekAlert!, we launched today a new public portal for USDA/REE science at www.eurekalert.org/usda
 
From the main home page http://www.eurekalert.org/, you will see us listed with the other three federal science portals – NIH, DOE, NSF – that lead directly to agency-specific content on this AAAS page. 
 
In addition, we now regularly distribute our news releases and news stories through EurekAlert! to the more than 3,500 journalists who visit the site weekly (domestic and international), the 800 or so universities and research performing institutions who also contribute their news to EurekAlert!, and to the public.  You will note that the aggregating tool at EurekAlert! also collects ALL USDA-sponsored research that is contributed to the site by other parts of USDA, by university partners, and by other research institutions – and often it’s stuff we don’t even know about!
 
If not already, the REE pages at http://www.ree.usda.gov/ also will soon be switched out with new content and the EurekAlert! link will go to the revised pages.
