I assume it would be a good idea to initiate some repetitive interaction between CZ and more traditional venues of scholarly communication like science journals, and the CZ:Workgroup Weeks might be the right occasion to start that.
Biology
One way for this would be a community page article in PLoS Biology (an Open Access journal, and perhaps the most widely read one in biology) describing the concept of Biology Week to a life science audience. The author guidelines for this are here, and previous examples of such community pages include
- The Costs of Exclusion: Recognizing a Role for Local Communities in Biodiversity Conservation,
- CAMERA: A Community Resource for Metagenomics,
- Peer Review - The Newcomers' Perspective and
- Rethinking Outreach: Teaching the Process of Science through Modeling.
In order to harness the powers of a wiki for drafting the article, I suggest we do that here, in close collaboration with the CZ:Biology Workgroup and anybody else interested in Biology Week.
Aims of the article
Main points to make, considering the audience at PLoS Biology:
- What is Biology Week?
- Give first occurence and details on planned regularity
- Why should readers (scientists, teachers, students, interested public) participate in it?
- What sorts of contributions are possible and/or expected (here, the groups should be addressed separately, though that's not easy within a concise piece of narrative writing)?
- Mention other CZ Workgroup weeks, most notably those for Health sciences and Anthropology, as these fields have a large overlap with Biology
Draft
Text
Up to 1200 words.
Image or box?
We can have either an image or a box but perhaps the box might contain an image.
I would suggest to go for a box that lists the key properties of CZ with respect to similar projects readers might be familiar with (mainly EB and WP). A good image would probably be of help, and something in the style of 
or 
would seem appropriate - the field is depicted as a whole, yet its diversity is evident, too. Any idea how we can get the idea of a recurrent Biology week into such a figure?
