Are you a scientist or researcher with expertise in neuroscience, cognitive science, or related areas?

Are you a graduate student or PhD candidate looking for ways to share your findings and get published in the process?

ASTD’s newest community of practice, Science of Learning, invites you to get involved as a community guest blogger. There is a wealth of research on how adult learners use and acquire knowledge. If you spot a peer-reviewed journal article on this or any related topics, email us with a link to the article, plus a short write-up (500-600 words) on the practical implications on organizational learning & development.

Are you conducting your own original research or developing an evidence-based L&D framework, and wish to share a snapshot your findings? Have you actually put evidence-based frameworks into use and want to share recommendations with your peers in the field? Send us a brief summary, and we’ll help you develop it into an article or guest blog.

We are on the look-out for fresh, original content to jump start this important Community of Practice, dedicated to advancing the profession through science and evidence-based best practices. If you have a topic or concept you would like to share, or just want to learn more, contact Juana Llorens, Community of Practice Manager.
