SocMed Stars at #ASC2012
The Australian Science Communicators' Conference was held from 27-29 February in Sydney. The social media backchannel was huge, but three contributors helped us make sense of it. A big thanks & congrats to Kylie Sturgess (@kyliesturgess), Krystal Evans (@dr_krystal) & Sarah Keenihan (@sciencesarah).

I'm running on almost no sleep, but @dr_krystal @sciencesarah & @kyliesturgess just lifted my spirits with fascinating chat about #ASC2012!- Drink more tea! RT @sciencesarah: Adrenalin pumping after re-living #ASC2012 with @reallyedbrown @dr_krystal @kyliesturgess. MUST WIND DOWN
