At last week's AAAS meeting, Science Careers
unveiled its new Facebook fan page (free Facebook membership
required) that offers Facebook members a meeting point for matters and issues
related to starting a career in Science. The new page provides highlights and
links to Science Careers articles, our blog, and featured GrantsNet listings,
plus some lively discussions with other Science Careers visitors.
Last summer our José Fernández
generously offered his personal profile to get Science Careers started on
Facebook. Back then, Facebook offered its rich collection of applications only
to personal profiles, not organizational group pages. Recently, however,
Facebook began making available fan pages for organizations with many of the
same features found on personal profiles. José then started the Science Careers
fan page, and over the next few weeks will move the applications from his
profile over to the fan page.
Check out our fan page and become a fan yourself. While you're add it, check out the AAAS group on Facebook (over 1,000 members and growing), as well as the Entrypoint fan page, AAAS's newest Facebook entry. Entrypoint offers internships for science students with disabilities.
