One of the major goals of the conceptualization project was to build awareness of the need for an institute, publicize our activities, and increase overall community interest. To achieve this goal, we used a website, nine newsletters, 36 blog posts, and a seires of public talks and webinars given by the PIs and others. We sent the newsletters to the URSSI email list, which consists of workshop attendees and other interested members of the community. We also publicized the newsletter and blog posts via the URSSI twitter account, which has over 500 followers.
Section 2.2, first para: any numbers of unique visits to the website and blog? If they’re good, they can be persuasive.
