Alan Alda gave a fantastic talk on science communication January 6th at UCSD. He inspired, entertained, and taught us how to effectively talk about science. Alda was in town to teach a more intensive workshop at the UCSD Kavli Center (see link near end).

#aldacenterSD #scicomm Talking science communication at UCSD. http://t.co/V8CJB8Woxr · The Alda Center
One person put it well (can't find tweet): Do science like a scientist, communicate it like a person.
Below--Alda filled a glass to the rim with water and asked volunteer to carry it across the stage, saying "if you spill any your whole village will die." He pointed out that we were very engaged because there's a story, and drama, behind her trip across the stage. Made analogies to evoking emotion in our #scicomm stories.
Alan Alda can even make a glass of water interesting. #aldacentersd http://t.co/RV2H8E1wRN · Melissa Lau

<![CDATA[Life Science Social Media: Missed Opportunity For Companies to Engage]]>

Life scientists are posing questions on Twitter about their needs, do tools providers answer, or even notice? This conversation went unnoticed on Twitter by companies, yet 5 other scientists replied within minutes. After a company was referenced in the discussion they responded the next day.

General Tools

You can run Twitter straight from your browser or as an an app on most devices. Twitter has added features to help you find other users and follow topics, because they want you to use their application.
Hootsuite is a great tool which runs on desktop browsers and most mobile devices. You can use it for multiple accounts and you can set it up to follow topic/hashtag searches and to follow Twitter Lists.
TweetDeck is similar to Twitter and runs on the desktop (no browser needed) and many devices:
Social Mention is a great, free tool to find the top Twitter users and hashtags on a topic.

Twitterers To Follow

Here's a database that was recently started to track scientists on Twitter, search/follow and add yourself:

<![CDATA[Life Science Social Media: Getting Started, Part 2: Specific Resources]]>

From our viewpoint at Comprendia, life science social media has two sides, one is from that of the researchers and the other is from the companies that serve them. We hope to spark more conversations by providing these resources.

Here's a series of articles on topic on the Scientific American Blog by @NerdyChristie, read this and the rest of the articles in the series listed at the bottom of the article:
Here's a nice review from @MiriamGolste & @Dr_Bik:
Interesting paper and analysis by David Shiffman (@whysharksmatter):
ScienceOnline is the premier source for news about science and social media, they meet every year in North Carolina and are also starting satellite groups, look for one in your area!
ScienceSeeker is affiliated with ScienceOnline and aggregates science blogs and news--posts about the topic can be found here but needs to be filtered for (see uber feed at bottom):
Nature has some great events and blogs on the topic:
We cover the topic on our blog, click on a topic on the right sidebar to see all posts:
We catalog hashtags on this Google spreadsheet. Follow individual conferences or topics, we recommend #scicomm and #sciox (and follow people who use these hashtags):
You can learn a lot from watching how companies implement social media. Here are some individual feeds and resources we've created, not all are "Storify friendly" (require logins, etc.) so we'll list some as text:

<![CDATA[Life Science Social Media: Getting Started, Part 1: General Resources]]>

I've been asked a few times how to get started in life science social media and I see two steps: 1. Learning about social media in general 2. Monitoring how both researchers and life science companies are using social media, and participating

We provide sources we find useful for you to read and subscribe to, and we also provide an aggregated feed near the bottom so you can get all of the information delivered to your RSS reader or email. Below is Part 1, general sources, and stay tuned for Part 2 which will focus on life science social media resources.

Social media general, watch the whole feed:

Social Media Applications, watch the whole feed for application-specific information:
Sources which often have social and digital media news--filter for it (some say they are only social media but we find they are broader):
We've aggregated and filtered the above feeds you, sign up for daily email updates by clicking below:
