“When I was in high school, if you were in the "so-called" pre-college curriculum, you had to take four years of science and four years of math - a waste of my time, a waste of my teacher's time
and a waste of space.” Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott

"The scientific community needs to understand what ethical practitioners of public relations have long known: trust
is not about information; it’s about dialogue and transparency"

“One of the things I hear most frequently about a new hire is how
disturbing it is that he doesn’t have a web presence.
Something must be wrong, right?”
Danah BoydAssistant Professor, NYU; Visiting Researcher, Harvard Law

Don’t trust my word on it…

“I view it as a fundamental part of my job as a scientist and an educator. I use social networking to follow the literature, to do
outreach, to communicate with colleagues, etc.”

“If you have, say, a thousand followers on Twitter, that’s like talking to a large auditorium every time you tweet something about your
science: a powerful tool indeed. A direct line like that means the scientist can ensure that their science is accurately portrayed and that
they have an opportunity to share with the public the personal passion that drives them to science in the first place.”

“A new generation of young researchers has grown up with an ever-present Internet. Publishers have been quicker than
academics to react to this new world, but scientists must catch up. Even if you choose not to blog, you can certainly expect that
your papers and ideas will increasingly be blogged about. So there it is — blog or be blogged.”
