In reply to Gilbert Babin.

Now that so much information is available only a click away, it becomes very important for good science to get out of the ivory tower and become accessible. Not in some paid academic journal that 20 people read, but for the world, like wikipedia (which has its own issues). Better literacies are needed but so too do we need more knowledgeable people to engage. For too long institutions have marginalized the importance of the web. Now they have to catch up or themselves be marginalized. When disaster strikes, people turn to the web.
