Science on Twitter
There are many negatives with social media but also many positives. Among those positives is the great number of amazing scientists using Twitter to share science news! Not only are there scientists, but there are telescopes and rovers with their own Twitter accounts sharing their findings. You just have to use social media in such a way the positives outweigh the negatives. Following scientists is a great way to gain those positives.
Emily Lakdawalla
Emily Lakdawalla (@elakdawalla) is someone you MUST follow on Twitter. There should be no debate about this! She is the senior editor of the Planetary Society and is constantly (okay, not constantly, but quite often) posting science news. Her tweets help keep me up to date in the field of planetary science. She's also written a book, The Design and Engineering of Curiosity: How the Mars Rover Performs Its Job, that has a five-star rating on Amazon. I haven't read it yet, but it's now on my to-read list!
Seriously, you should follow Emily Lakdawalla on Twitter!
