33. Academic blogging
Using social media has helped give my research a media
profile which otherwise would have been impossible,
particularly at this stage of my career. It’s made me easy
to discover for journalists and it’s helped me forged a
rich array of connections with the broader community
who have been the subject of my research. I’ve also
found that, increasingly, journalists have read my blog
posts or listened to my podcasts before they contact me
and it hugely aids the subsequent dialogue.

34. Academic Tweeting

35. 5 twitter & science myths
1. Serious scientists don’t tweet
2. Twitter takes too much time
3. You can’t be meaningful in 140 characters
4. Twitter erases boundaries between students
and faculty
5. Twitter is only for self-promoters
