If <em>Eos</em> accepts your proposal, a science editor will work with you to develop your manuscript. <em>Eos</em> editors are expert science communicators and will ensure that your article is engaging and widely read. Ideally, we hope our scientist-authors see the experience of publishing in<em> Eos</em> as an opportunity to build their science communication skills.</p> <p>Here are two videos featuring basic guidance along with some examples—these are free mini-classes on writing clear, engaging articles.
