mission statement.

To provide an outlet for local science based on work done by local scientists to inform neighbors of issues directly impacting them. The CSQ will publish timely scientific articles that will enable/facilitate informed citizen decision making. 

​

Journalistic style will be driven by the need to inform a broad range of readers. In text citations will be numerical and where possible articles and data referenced will be available to readers through an online database.
