DESCRIPTION
How I used Twitter the last 3 years to discuss the impact of healthy nutrition & lifestyle for personal health => field of Nutrigenomics (you are what you eat and have eaten).
Citation preview
Social media for ScienceA personal view
Michael Müller@nutrigenomics
Social media “explained”
My n=1 experienceMore visibility of nutrigenomics research 2009
• In 2009 the NL Nutrigenomics Consortium was almost finished (2003-2009) but we did quite little in our PR and the interaction with the public (& industry):– Website not attractive, regularly updated– No Blog– No “easy understandable” info about “You are
what you eat”• So we had to leave the “ivory tower of
science” and interact:– Twitter, FB, & recently Google+ (there are more
options like Youtube, Slideshare and other social bookmarking tools e.g. Mendeley (or F1000)....
Tweetdeck
3175 Followers since 8-2009
Number of tweets & followers
Who is following?
Why Twitter for me?• Why Twitter (for science)?– Get info– Provide info
• Daily highlights in molecular nutrition, (personal) genomics & nutrigenomics (own papers if possible)
• Critical comments on “nonsense” remarks, papers (but not too much, can be a fulltime job)
Why Twitter for me?• I learned most about science the last 2 years,
all high impact journals are on Twitter, you are the first to see new highlights and press releases
• I followed live tweets from conferences (mainly genetics, personal genomics)
• Its rewarding, invitations, contacts with some interesting people, networking

But
• But it can be “dangerous” e.g. addicting
• Or you see “too” much (that is not easy to “digest”)
• & its biased

Recommendations I
• Use TweetDeck (or equivalent & a good app on smart phone)
• Use lists (essential tweets) or highly restrict the number of followed people
• Use hash tags (used for search robots)• Use DM if you do not think this is for the
entire world
Recommendations II
• Use it either for private communication or work (or mix it carefully in order not to “spam” your follower
• Decide whether you want to use Dutch or English (I even created NutrigenomicsNL for Dutch tweets)
• Have a BLOG (with more than 140 letters) with e.g. critical comments of articles
• Identify opinion leaders (& you can become one!)
Social Media & you
• Be Authentic• Be Transparent• Bring Value
Sometimes take your Twitter vacation!
