Science Online New York (SoNYC) encourages audience participation in the discussion of how science is carried out and communicated online. To celebrate our first birthday, we are handing the mic over to the audience so that anyone who would like to participate will get five minutes to show off their favourite online tool, application or website that makes science online fun. To complement the celebrations, we’re hosting a series of guest posts on Soapbox Science where a range of scientists share details about what’s in their online science toolkits. Why not let us know how they compare to the tools that you use in the comment threads?
Susanna Speier currently works in social media and digital journalism. Her writing credits include Scientific American, Newsweek/The Daily Beast and The Denver Post and her science themed plays have been produced HERE Arts Center, The Tenri and Galapagos Arts Space. She has a Masters in Playwriting from Brooklyn College, C.U.N.Y. and a Bachelors from Hampshire College. She has also created a couple dozen Pinterset boards for her social media clients in the fashion and real estate industries. The disproportionate amount of attention Pinterest users dedicated to fashion and decorating is probably her fault.
