There are many ways scientists use social media and the web to share their data science ideas:

1. [:simple-twitter: "Science Twitter"](https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/08/scientists-do-you-want-succeed-twitter-here-s-how-many-followers-you-need){target=_blank} -
is really just regular [Twitter](https://twitter.com/hashtag/science?lang=en){target=_blank}, but with a
focus on following other scientists and organizations, and tweeting
about research you're interested in. By building up a significant
following, more people will know you, know about your work, and
you'll have a higher likelihood of meeting other new collaborators.
2. Blogging Platforms such as [Medium](https://medium.com/){target=_blank} are a great place to self publish your writing on just about any topic.
It's free to sign up and start blogging, but does have a fee for accessing premium content. Some of my favorite blogs include [Toward Data Science](https://towardsdatascience.com/){target=_blank}
and [Chris Holmes](https://medium.com/@cholmes){target=_blank}.
3. Community groups - There are lists (and lists of lists) of
[nationals research organizations](https://www.google.com/search?q=list+of+professional+science+organizations){target=_blank},
in which a researcher can become involved. These older organziations
still rely on official websites, science journal blogs, and email
lists to communicate with their members. In the earth sciences there
are open groups which focus on communication like the [Earth Science
Information Partners (ESIP)](https://www.esipfed.org/){target=_blank} with
progressive ideas about how data and science can be done. Other
groups, like [The Carpentries](https://carpentries.org/){target=_blank} and
[Research Bazaar](https://resbazblog.wordpress.com/about/){target=_blank} are
focused on data science training and digital literacy.

4. Podcasts - Creating and distributing audio content to masses is easier than ever before. There are many podcast hosting platforms including [Spotify](https://podcasters.spotify.com/){target=_blank}, [Podbean](https://www.podbean.com/){target=_blank}, [Acast](https://www.acast.com/){target=_blank}, and [Libsyn](https://libsyn.com/){target=_blank}. From there is it simple to make your podcast availble in the [Google Podcast](https://rss.com/blog/how-to-submit-podcast-to-google-podcasts/){target=_blank} app or [Apple Podcast](https://transistor.fm/upload-podcast-itunes-apple/){target=_blank} app.
5. Webinars - With platforms such as [Zoom](https://zoom.us/){target=_blank}, [Microsoft Teams](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software){target=_blank}, and [Google Meet](https://meet.google.com/){target=_blank}, it is so easy nowadays to host a webinar touting and explaining your science.
6. Youtube - The king of video sharing platforms is a great place to post content promoting your science (and yourself!). For example, [Cyverse](https://www.youtube.com/@CyverseOrgProject){target=_blank} posts lots of content on cyberinfrastructure and data processing pipelines. Some of my favorite podcasts hosted on Youtube include [StarTalk](https://www.youtube.com/@StarTalk){target=_blank} and [Lex Fridman](https://www.youtube.com/@lexfridman){target=_blank}.
