Here’s SWINY’s promo of an upcoming panel that I’ll be a part of:
They are everywhere you look these days – social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, ShareThis, etc. This barrage of new communication tools can be overwhelming, and many of us are wondering – what the hell is all of this stuff? How do I sort out which of these tools will benefit my career? How much of my precious time should I be spending to figure this out? What does it all mean for science communications?
To address these and related questions, SWINY has summoned a panel of social media experts – including generalists, academics, and science journalists – to share their views and experiences with you. We hope you will join us for this very special program.
Our panelists include:
• Scott Dodd – Web Editor, Natural Resources Defense Council
• Judith Meskill – Self-described “Social Media Evangelist”
• Jay Rosen – Professor of Journalism, NYU
• Christie Nicholson – Editor, Scientific American Online
• Adnaan Wasey – Web Editor, The Takeaway, WNYC Radio
