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 Atkin on Twitter
Emily Atkin (@emorwee) is someone you should definitely follow on Twitter! She is a former staff writer for The New Republic where she focused on climate change. I've followed her on Twitter for quite some time. Although I never subscribed to The New Republic, I thoroughly enjoyed her contributions on Twitter focusing on the facts of climate change in what is too often a fact-free world.
More recently she has started a newsletter focused on climate change that publishes its first issue...TODAY! It's called HEATED and I signed up when I first heard about it. It's free for now, but I anticipate it being too great to not pay for when it moves to a pay-model in a couple of months. You can check out HEATED and sign up here:
HEATED
In Emily's own words, HEATED is:
"a newsletter for people who are pissed about the climate crisis."
I can't wait to read the first issue! So sign up for HEATED and follow her on Twitter for some fantastic climate change science!
