You will probably have heard of (or indeed use) social networking sites such as Facebook, mySpace and Beebo, now nature.com has created one specifically for scientists: Nature Network.
Nature Network allows you to connect up with others to discuss and find out about the latest scientific news and events. It is free to sign up. Here’s what they say you can do:
- Create your own personal profile page and describe yourself and your research.
- Set up a group for your lab, department or institution. Or you can form a topic-based group, such as an RNAi, climate change, or nanotechnology group.
- Join and have discussions with group members.
- Build your own online network of likeminded people.
- and give us your take on what's going on in your field or in the broader world of science; post comments on other people's blogs.
- On the city pages, search and browse our comprehensive listing of all upcoming seminars and conferences. We aim to list everything from niche meetings to screenings of science-based films and plays. You can even post your own events.
- Read the latest news, views and historical insights in the news sections of our featured cities. And then discuss these articles via our commenting system.
- Browse local jobs listings.
It’s in its early days yet, but it looks like it might be an interesting resource.
