Welcome, Erica! Glad you could join us. :D Hopefully you'll like what you find here, and stick around after you finish your article. You could solicit interviews by posting on one of the forums, which is done on the main page.

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Media Issues, Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

On a personal note, I've developed an animated gif technique, sort of “pull quote marries slideshow”. Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me

Welcome aboard! =)  Hope you're doing well today...

Hi Erica

We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 730 discussion topics and 3700 members.
