Presented at the American Physiology Society Communications Symposium at the 2012 Experimental Biology meeting in San Diego, California. Social media can be used to chronicle and share research, teaching, and outreach experiences with others in your field and with the general public. As a result it can be a very important career building tool to professional scientists.

Editor's Notes

- Helps you organize your thoughtsMy writing dramatically improved as a result of bloggingYou may get some assistance from an expertI tweeted about not understanding a paper I read and the author of the paper tweeted me back to help me understand his methodsYou may get some assistance from othersNeed field assistants, short term or long term, especially interested high school/early college students just wanting to learn/do more (Citizen Science)Create new mentoring opportunitiesWith requirements to make federally funded research open access, better to get on the ball now.Creates a community and accessibility between scientists and general public, learners and teachers (of all ages, levels, ability and interests)
- With requirements to make federally funded research open access, better to get on the ball now.Open AccessScience processDataTechniquesResearch paper
- I am accessiblean extension of your CV resumeMy blogs serve as a portfolio of my professional experiences and establishes me as an expert among peers and nascent audiencesIs there a role for Physiology in social media & media?YES! Absolutely yes. Media outlets need access to professionals in order to write/produce accurate and informative news items. Blogs, tweets, tumblr, etc. are one way for those outlets to access experts in various fields. Set yourself up as the go to person and people/organizations will come.
- QR codes on posters/papers means folks can download those materials or access supplementary data immediatelyQR codes on business cards can link folks back to you, your email, lab website, open access materials, etc?Data visualization is the newest darling – combining Art and STEM in very informative and straight to the point ways. Looking forward to seeing Infographics presentations in posters and oral sessions
