#UCDavis Social Media for STEM Discussion
Discussion about Social Media and STEM Research with Holly Bik (@Dr_Bik) from UC Davis, Katie Hinde (@mammals_suck) from Harvard, Jonathan Eisen (@phylogenomics) from UC Davis and Austin Elliott from UC Davis. Sponsored by the UC Davis ADVANCE project.

UC Davis ADVANCE is a newly funded Institutional Transformation grant that began in September of 2012. Our program is supported by the …

OK – going to try to live tweet presentation by @Mammals_Suck as part of wheel.ucdavis.edu/2013/05/upcomi… while I am at panel table in front … -
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: few years ago noticed wasn’t much cross talk in Milk Studies subfields, thought a blog was needed, so started one
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: built a community via social media around milk and milk science – started w/ blog, then twitter, then Facebook
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: academia is sometimes a series of kicks in the teets and community built via social media can help you deal w/ it
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: social media is a good way to develop collaborations too
-
Live tweeting this afternoon from #UCDadvance panel on social media – with @phylogenomics and @Mammals_Suck wheel.ucdavis.edu/2013/05/upcomi… #scicomm -
MT“@phylogenomics: @Mammals_Suck: academia can be a series of kicks in the teets & community built via social media can help you deal w/ it”
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: scientists should communicate w/ public; #openaccess publishing not enough b/c papers behind paywall of jargon
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: social media helps to rediscover fun of science (gives example of mammal march madness mammalssuck.blogspot.com/2013/03/mammal…)
-
Yay now @Mammals_Suck is discussing March mammal madness!! Fun and also a discussion of adaptations and a way to intro people to primary lit
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: whenever writes about stories on her blog she tries to link to #openaccess publications which helps engage public
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: another use of a blog is to “own your story” about research eg Neanderthal breastfeeding nature.com/news/infant-to…
-
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck: in response to press coverage re: Neanderthal breastfeeding wrote post w/ background mammalssuck.blogspot.com/2013/05/teeth-…
-
Also, as @Mammals_Suck explains, social media lets you, not just the media, tell the real story of your research.
-
Examples of how @phylogenomics uses online media… -
Now, @phylogenomics admits he’s never given social media much thought-it’s a natural progression for him.
-
. @phylogenomics discusses how he wrote his own press release before a paper debuted, allowing him to give an accurate representation.
-
. @phylogenomics now invites others to publish the stories of their work in his blog. Awesome idea for teaching public how science works.
-
Everyone at the #UCDadvance is doing a great job of tweeting the discussion that I don’t have much to add! @phylogenomics @Mammals_Suck
-
-
I agree with @phylogenomics that Twitter is the way to find out what’s happening in your field.
-
J eisen @phylogenomics says tapping collective knowledge (social media) and saying “we don’t know” connects to people who do
-
@Dr_Bik @phylogenomics @Mammals_Suck Keep up the tweets! I’m having a blast following you all from France! -
Wow, @phylogenomics has been invited to apply for funding via social media, esp when agencies want the work disseminated. That’s encouraging
-
@phylogenomics @duffy_ma @Mammals_Suck Does a kick in the teet hurt like a kick in the balls? If so I’m not sure even social media can help -

-
When you trash papers publically, you may cross over boundaries b/tw critical of the work & being over the top… be careful @phylogenomics
-
Didn’t delete regretful post, instead added clear retraction and apology -@phylogenomics #trashedauthorthankedhim
-
Sometimes you’ll say something stupid, but own up to it quickly and things can move on- @phylogenomics
-
Don’t view social media as obligation but as tool to aid academic work. Use it to take notes and post publicly @phylogenomics

-
Don’t feel the need to read all the things, treat social media like a stream you dip your feet into @Mammals_Suck
-
@Mammals_Suck ugh, “guess look”, lets change that to just “look” -
Independent blogs travel with you if you change universities/jobs/departments @Mammals_Suck
-
-
@Mammals_Suck @phylogenomics @Dr_Bik Seems also important to engage with traditional media. Many people still get their news from local TV. -
@Mammals_Suck @DistribEcology @phylogenomics teet seemed appropriate coming from someone who studies lactation :) -
At #UCDavis @Mammals_Suck says that blog posts are like making a lot of meals on weekends and freezing them – lots of later uses for them
-
Just found out about yourlogicalfallacyis.com from @Mammals_Suck as a way to deal w/ comments from trolls online
-
@phylogenomics @Mammals_Suck agreed sounds like a useful site
-
-
.@Sponch2 @phylogenomics This is what I’ve been doing since I met everyone at ASM2012. Everyone has been very helpful and kind. cc: @Dr_Bik -
.@JoeTCJ @phylogenomics @Dr_Bik twitter has made me more knowledgable scientist about things way outside my field and within my field
-
Love this! MT @phylogenomics: Just found out about yourlogicalfallacyis.com from @Mammals_Suck as a way to deal w/ comments from trolls -
-
-
@phylogenomics @Mammals_Suck that is so excellent… ordering the poster now. -
-

@phylogenomics Always found that site amusing because some of its examples suffer logical fallacies elsewhere on the same page. :) -
@Sponch2 @mammals_suck yes otherwise you’ll be sucked into the current and forever lost. -

-
@Mammals_Suck @Dr_Bik @phylogenomics I’m glad I could make it. Sadly I had to hurry back to research so I can make my flight this afternoon.
-
@PictureEcology @Dr_Bik @phylogenomics That was me leaving Harvard graduation to get to the airport to get here! Totes understand!
-
@Mammals_Suck Annnnnd the sandwiches are gone. It was great talking with you, have a safe flight! -
@phylogenomics @Mammals_Suck I want to get that poster because of reason #5: “Potato” -
Great to meet @phylogenomics & @Dr_Bik in person to have fun talking about science online.
-
@arundurvasula @phylogenomics mmmmmm…. curly fries.
