Nov 26th Panel on Using Social Media to Promote Science, University of Illinois
This panel was convened by the Women in Science group, and organized by Jo Holley. Panelists were @KateClancy, @melanietbaum, @engineerguytwit and @sciencegoddess.
Oh hai twitter, we are at the IGB right now, ready to wow you with social media skillz! #ILsocmedsci- We kept the #ILsocmedsci hashtag open on the screen behind us for most of the panel, aside from a few times that I demonstrated other parts of the Twitter stream.
Our hashtag for Using Social Media to Share science is #ILsocmedsci #UIUC also check out our hangout.- We also had a G+ hangout. We did have a number of attendees via the hangout, but didn't get any particular questions.

We described the kinds of social media we use and what we do with it.
- What online outlets are available for promoting science? Among the general public, who is using social media? #ILsocmedsci
- We discussed the different kinds of users that tend to use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and blogs. I discussed the big change in audience when I moved from my independent blog (90% female audience) to the one now at SciAm (70% male audience). It has been a hard slog to bring those female readers over to this male space and get them interacting and commenting again.

Follow my colleague Jennifer! “@jefollis: @sciencegoddess says followers can come from lucky retweets #ILsocmedsci”
Missing first half of #ILsocmedsci to attend dissertation defense by super-sci woman Doris Lagos abt aphid phylogenetics. #smallstuff #INHS- Here is the video where he shares some of the troll comments he's received: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmKzSDOXejI&list=UU2bkHVIDjXS7sgrgjFtzOXQ&index=17&feature=plcp
- Apparently @sciencegoddess does well on Twitter by accidentally hitting optimal balance of content. #ILsocmedsci
@Myrmecos Trolls have their place, but I'm not sure what it is yet. LOL! #ILsocmedsci- Attendees of #ILsocmedsci, meet @edyong209. Only mentioned half a dozen times here!
