-- Science Communication and Twitter --

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A timely talk from a recent Twitter conference in NY city, discussing the ways in which 'Twitter' is altering the nature of current-day science reporting (for those not familiar with it, this is actually a hot topic right now for science journalists, editors, reporters, and scientists themselves). Will we ever have biologist field technicians 'twittering' the latest actions in recovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker? Doubtful... but not impossible.
