This project is a multimedia initiative designed to increase the public and youth understanding of how scientists work. Deliverables include "Pulse of the Planet" radio programs in both English and Spanish; related web news features and photo galleries at National Geographic.com; and formative and summative evaluations of the project. The project will select 27 scientists and citizen scientists (7 of them Latinos) to provide first-person "insider" stories of scientific endeavor using the "audio diary" format. They will be provided with minidisk field recording kits and digital cameras and given hands-on training by the PI. Excerpts from their diaries will be used on the nationally broadcast radio programs and website. Some of these will feature citizen science projects. The project's partners include The Self-Reliance Foundation and the Hispanic Radio Network that will produce Spanish-language adaptations of Pulse of the Planet programs; the National Geographic will create editorial features for its news website; and Citizen Science project partners including Cornell's Lab of Ornithology, and Earthwatch, among others will encourage direct participation in projects linked to the radio and web information. It is estimated that 1.25 million people will hear each of the radio programs and 50,000 unique visitors will read the stories on the web site.

这个项目是一个多媒体项目，旨在提高公众和青年对科学家工作方式的理解。交付成果包括英语和西班牙语的“地球脉动”广播节目；国家地理网站上的相关网络新闻和图片库；以及对项目的形成性和总结性评估。该项目将选择27名科学家和公民科学家（其中7名是拉丁裔），以“音频日记”的形式提供科学努力的第一人称“内幕”故事。他们将获得小型磁盘现场录音包和数码相机，并由PI提供实际操作培训。他们的日记摘录将在全国广播电台节目和网站上使用。其中一些将以公民科学项目为特色。该项目的合作伙伴包括自力更生基金会和西班牙语广播网，后者将制作西班牙语版的《地球脉动》节目；《国家地理》（National Geographic）将为其新闻网站创建编辑专题；以及公民科学项目的合作伙伴，包括康奈尔大学的鸟类学实验室和地球观察等，将鼓励直接参与与广播和网络信息相关的项目。据估计，将有125万人收听广播节目，5万名独立访问者将在网站上阅读这些故事。
