title: Proceedings: got a laboratory--want continued success? Talk to the public.
abstract: Government agencies around the world that fund research have to justify sustaining their budgets. In order to be effective in this effort, they need broad public support, and that will not develop to the level necessary without greater participation by the research community in public outreach. Today's communication tool kit provides a broad array of options for researchers to join this effort.
