"For the month of July, people can tweet at the IISD-ELA Twitter account with any questions they may have for Experimental Lakes Area scientists with the hashtag #ELA140, whether it’s about climate change, different pollutants, invasive species, or what exactly happens at the ELA, a natural laboratory made up of 58 small lakes and their watersheds near Vermilion Bay. The catch, of course, is the researchers have to respond in 140 characters or less."
"The scientists at the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) near Kenora, Ont., are practicing a new skill this month: being brief. The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), which operates the ELA, is running a campaign throughout July that will see its scientists answer science-related questions that are posed via Twitter."
