Visibility Means Discoverability
• Does a Social Profile matter?
• You are visible, when you share your skills, experience and research activities by:• Establishing a public profile• Getting on the record• Collaborative Science• Demonstrating a skill set• Measured using “alternative metrics”• Contributing to the public peer review
process

CAUTION! Separate Personal from Professional
• We all know the stories of the “pictures that shouldn’t have made it online!”
• FaceBook is probably best kept “personal”

Scientists are “Quantified”
• Scientists are quantified
• Stats are gathered and analyzed
• Employers can find them, tenure will depend on them, and these already happen without your participation
• Scientists Impact Factors, H-index and many other variants.
