“YouTube” for Science Professionals?
The work of a scientist isn’t finished until it has been communicated. Of course, you’ll want to publish and present at conferences, but now you have a third alternative to help you reach the broader scientific community. Visit SciVee –they are pioneering new modes of dissemination of scientific information. Think of it as “you tube” for the scientific community. According to their website “Created for scientists, by scientists, SciVee moves science beyond the printed word and lecture theater taking advantage of the internet as a communication medium where scientists young and old have a place and a voice.” You can submit links to published papers and you can also upload a short video of yourself talking about highlights from the research. How cool is that?
Check it out. Oh… and if you want help with making your video presentation, drop me a line <smile>. I know a little about scientific communication!
