2. Social media has significantly altered how we
communicate information.
9. 1.3 billion people are on Facebook, and 48% are
between 18 and 34 years of age.
10. Twitter has 646 million participants, and 58 million
tweets are sent per day.
11. All news platforms are losing viewership...

12. You are competing with the general public to create news and
stories. The amateurs are winning.
13. "70 percent of Americans cannot read and understand the science section
of the New York Times" ~ Jon Miller, MSU researcher.
14. "Most professions exist because there is a scarce resource that
requires ongoing management" ~ Clay Shirkey
15. "50% of the public now cites the internet as a main source for
national and international news" ~ PEW Research
25. There is also the “Sagan Effect”, where individuals are perceived as

26. You and your work will be known, if you share it.
27. You are responsible for your personal branding. You
control your message to the world.
28. "In an Internet world there is no point in having knowledge if people don’t know you
have it, and if you are not prepared to share it." ~Euan Semple
30. If you hide your papers behind a paywall or jargon wall, the
general public will not read them, unless…
31. "If you tell people about your research, they look at it. Your research will get looked at
more than papers which are not promoted via social media." ~ Melissa Terras
