Hey guys, saw you all being promoted in /leftypol/, glad to see you exist!

I was wondering if any of you had any advice on how to disseminate my own scientific studies (grad student in physical sciences, but arXiv isn't really used by my field) to the public in a way that it can actually be used.

I'm so used to having access to the paywalled garden that I'm not familiar with how to throw my fruits over the wall.

If it's your own work there shouldn't be any legal issues with distributing it as you like, but yeah it's tough to get access to readers on your own. It's notoriously difficult to find a free way to publish academic articles, other than just posting them on places like this and sharing them that way. Not exactly hitting a huge audience, obviously.

Interesting article on the very same issue you're facing OP, http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/sep/02/bad-science-academic-publishing

But unfortunately I don't know any physical sciences open-access platforms or journals or anything that are free to publish into.
