How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
I use Twitter as a news feed & to follow those folks who have their finger on the pulse of current events & developments
Share on TwitterWhat feature should Twitter add?
Keep Twitter from going belly-up as it often does.
Why should we vote for you?
Because I care deeply about spreading the word that science is an integral & transforming feature of human culture that we should all embrace
How do you make your tweets unique?
I draw on my expertise in science & rational thinking to add insightful & witty commentary to my tweets
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
Yes, by myself. I've become addicted!!
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's harmless. It has the potential to ruin your life ;-) !!
How do you decide what to tweet?
I think about those developments I would want someone else to inform me of, and what might help my ff's in their thinking abt the world
Why'd you start tweeting?
To draw attention to the great exploratory expedition humanity is presently conducting around Saturn. It is cause for great celebration!
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
It's put me in touch with a great many interesting people who think & communicate interesting ideas...for free.
