My scientific specialty is chronobiology (circadian rhythms and photoperiodism), with additional interests in comparative physiology, animal behavior and evolution. I am not an MD so I cannot diagnose and treat your sleep problems. As well as writing this blog, I am also the Online Discussion Expert for PLoS. This is a personal blog and opinions within it in no way reflect the policies of PLoS. You can contact me at: Coturnix@gmail.com

Why Scientists won't use Twitter?

Category: Blogging
Posted on: March 2, 2009 11:42 PM, by Coturnix

Asks Nachiket Vartak:

Twitter doesn't need an introduction. The microblogging service is widely popular, and most Twitter users swear by its wonderful utility. It is a "Social Commons", as one enthusiastic web junkie put it. But a few months into using Twitter, I realised that there are very few scientists - and I mean natural scientists, on Twitter. For instance, at the time of writing this post, the Twitter account science had 2,247 followers , while some popular individuals have followers 10-fold that number.

Here are 211 scientific twitterers you may be familiar with - definitely a good start!

This blog post is so superficial and content-free that it should have been twittered.
