A Scientist’s Guide to Social Media
Social networking sites can be intimidating for typically introverted scientists. But actually, online communities are perfect for them, giving them an outlet for global communication that is not face-to-face. It is often recommended that scientists use online networking to make connections, exchange ideas, and even advance their careers.
Even scientists who aren’t daily social media users can benefit. Networking sites can help them stay up-to-date in field news, stay connected with colleagues, and build a network of collaborators. These tools make it easier for reluctant scientists to participate in conferences remotely, create online profiles, and showcase their professional work.
