    @kejames @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste @mpgroome So this means we can't just go on blaming the scientists in one session, journalists the next?

    @David_Dobbs @kejames @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste @mpgroome Let's be really daring and blame the general public. :)

    @David_Dobbs @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste @mpgroome In our sessions, journalists will be just 1 of many channels for scientists to do outreach.

    That piece emphasizes what always gets emphasized: media relations. There R many other ways 2 do outreach. @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste #scio13

    @kejames excellent point. Media relations been best way to get out info but blogs, twitter seems to be changing that. I'm also fan of 1-1

    Scientists who engage with society perform better academically http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/oup/spp/2008/00000035/00000007/art00006?token=004d12a754573d2570257045233e6c7c3151765b2b677c4e7547543c7e386f642f466f73d17c4 (free) @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste #scio13

    @genegeek I'd even lump blogging and tweeting in with media relations as one of the things that always gets emphasized. 1/2

    @kejames @MiriamGoldste True. But found it useful, concise. A good reference.

  15. kejames
    Karen James@kejames
    @genegeek 2/2 But there's even more. 1:1 as you mentioned, & also citizen science, public lectures (e.g. science cafes), school visits, etc.

    @kejames I'm completely amazed by the number of people my blog reaches. I think communicating science on a smaller scale is underrated.

  17. genegeek
    genegeek@genegeek
    @kejames I agree. I separate blogging/twitter because to me feels more like 1-1 = no intermediaries btw scientist & audience

    Ed Yong @edyong209
    @kejames @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste But surely none that have the same [number of people reached]/[time spent] ratio? Genuine Q. #scio13

    .@edyong209 @kejames An important paper b/c the perception among many academics (particularly the old guard) is that the effect is negative

    @edyong209 @kejames @MiriamGoldste I agree. Working w/news media significantly improves reach. But...(1/2)
    Wed, Sep 19 2012 06:34:52
  23. kejames
    Karen James@kejames
    @edyong209 @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste Yes, but we must also factor in things besides simply being reached, like length and depth of effect.

    Matt Shipman@ShipLives
    @edyong209 @kejames @MiriamGoldste (2/2)...reaches broad, rather than targeted audience. Shotgun approach, if you will.
    Wed, Sep 19 2012 06:35:41

    Karen James@kejames
    @edyong209 @ShipLives @MiriamGoldste So ([number of people reached]x[impact per reachee])/[time spent]?
