    Most scis do NOT benefit directly from media coverage in terms of tenures/grants/jobs. Usually best outcome is neutral. #Scio12 @DrCraigMc

    I cannot emphasize enough that most scientists get absolutely NO media training. This is not an intuitive skill for most. #scio12

    Find it odd that final panel on scientist-journalist relationship includes no active researchers. #Scio12

    This discussion may get really messy, in part bc there is no single answer. Whether scis shld review copy will vary story by story. #scio12

    What happens to democracy in a world dominated by complex science that the majority of people don't really understand? #scio12
