So What
Do I Do
Online?
Social media is a tool like a microscope.
It can be used well and badly.
It can be used to do a lot of different things
-Jon Eisen
* Inreach

versus
Outreach
*James Brown has nothing to do with this. I simply have always wanted to put a photo of James Brown dancing

What is your online mission?
Personal? Outreach? Science?
Consume, Share, Filter, Generate?

Should I Blog?
Unless the first thing and
last thing you think
about every day is
writing, then don’t blog
starting a blog is easy...

...keeping it updated is not
1. Be Strategic. Be Deliberate.

Mission Statement:
!

Demystifying and humanizing science in an open conversation that instills
passion, awe, and responsibility for the oceans.

Deep Sea News
1. Direct from the bench and the trench. 

2. Saying things others do not. 

3. Reverently irreverent. 

4. Promoting ocean literacy. 

5. Perspective through a plurality of voices. 

6. Awareness through scrutiny, not negativity. 

7. Expanding the culture of ocean science. 

8. Call to Action
2. Branding...Branding...Branding...

Ángel Guerraa, Ángel F. Gonzáleza, Santiago Pascuala, and Earl G. Daweb (2011). The giant squid Architeuthis: An
emblematic invertebrate that can represent concern for the conservation of marine biodiversity Biological
Conservation, 144 (7), 1989-1998 :10.1016/j.biocon.2011.04.021
3. Find Your Niche & Story

Reverently irreverent. We will be true
to who we are in real life, leveraging
humor to keep the science dialogue
informal and accessible.

“This "oh-so-hip" presentation of a very interesting
phenomenon is regrettable. I stopped reading
halway [sic] through it as I couldn't take any more.
Just present the science. Tarting it up for people to
read is pointless. Such readers have no value. Too
bad, I would have liked to learn the real scinece
[sic] presented here.”
4. Get Yourself A Super Team
5. Embrace the World Around You
6. Network + Good Story = Viral
7. Stop Taking Refuge In Our Irrelevance 

588,737
Current Population of Miami: 413,892
Producing something popular on the
internet is as much about passion as it is
about good content. With passion and the
right writing style, you can make any type
of science cool.

Deep Sea News
8. The deficit model is dead

Stop shouting the
same information
more and more
loudly
9. Stop Treating Outreach & Research as
Separate Entities.
!

We Need a New Formula

Outreach

Research

Outreach
Research

What if we started to create differently?
New graduate training, courses, lab cultures, and departments

Other Social
Media Forms
More than 1 billion unique users visit YouTube each month
!

Over 4 billion hours of video are watched each month on YouTube
!

72 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute
Video is a large time investment
to do well, but the payoff can be
huge
A George Washington University
and Cision survey in 2009 also
reported that 89% of journalists
use blogs and 65% use social
networks to research stories
(Cision, 2009). 	

!

A recent survey of journalists in
the UK, France, and Germany
showed that 60% use Wikipedia
for fact checking articles (Dugan,
2010).
Now Go Out
There And
Get Social!
