Editor's Notes
Informal does not mean fabricated or under-researched. It simply means you are giving more of a voice to your content than you would if it was a scientific paper.
By taking an issue you cover broadly on your website and expanding on it in a blog post, you can dive deeper on priorities that your organization is focusing on.
Look for opportunities to educate and have fun with the serious issues we cover.
