\nNARRAGANSETT, RI \u2013 July 26, 2012 \u2013 It\u2019s not rocket science, but effective use of social media is essential to communicating scientific research to a broad audience. That\u2019s the focus of a workshop hosted by the Metcalf Institute for Marine & Environmental Reporting in partnership with Rhode Island NSF Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (RIEPSCoR) and Rhode Island Sea Grant on July 30 at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School of Oceanography.<\/p>\n


\nPublic Lecture

\nBora Zivkovic, Scientific American blogs editor and founder of ScienceOnline, will kick off the workshop with a lecture on how the web is changing the way science is communicated in the rapidly evolving digital age. The lecture will begin at 9:30am on July 30 in the Coastal Institute Auditorium at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School of Oceanography. The lecture is free and open to the public. Faculty, communications staff and undergraduate students from all Rhode Island colleges and universities are encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n


\nWorkshop for RI Science Graduate Students

\nFollowing the lecture, 30 graduate students from Rhode Island universities will participate in an intensive social media and blogging workshop. Brown University social media specialist John S. Murphy will discuss the importance of differentiating personal opinion from fact in web-based communications. Workshop participants will also hear the perspectives of early-career scientists who are actively engaged in online science communications.<\/p>\n


\nThe Metcalf Institute was established at the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Graduate School of Oceanography in 1997 with funding from three media foundations, the Belo Corporation, the Providence Journal Charitable Foundation and the Philip L.
