I can see that! At that size, face-to-face outreach is better. Live-tweeting really needs a critical mass of 300-plus attendees. If you search for ancient hashtags still on Twitter like #SciWri18 #AGU11 #SciO10 or evergreen ones like #AAASmeetings, you can get a sense of this in action.
RT @alexwitze: GRACE satellite measurements of groundwater levels confirm they're dropping globally. http://bit.ly/sTj05X #AGU11 #hydrology
Last session of the last day of #AGU11. Proud to share the stage w/ #Scripps Eric Simms & #ALLPs Pam Sturner, grateful for the audience!
If you're at loose ends this morning #AGU11 stroll over to the posters & chat up the inimitable @mufferaw (#770) Exciting new scicomms ideas
Just had same convo here at #AGU11! MT@AndreaKuszewski: We need to crowdsource ideas for measuring impact of scicom & outreach #sonyc #SCOPE
HA! RT @DustyBowl: Just because you can correlate the PDO or AMO against something doesn't mean you should #agu11
Stress eating: bad for you, good for corals. Mounting evidence at #AGU11 that extra calories help corals survive low pH http://bit.ly/s8YLry
RT @europlanetmedia: Gurnett: Voyager-1 is still measuring interplanetary dust at 120 AU. 2 particles per cubic kilometer out there. #AGU11
MT @marschronicler: Banerdt: single station seismology on Mars can tell a lot. Can even detect tides raised by Phobos! #agu11
Science w/o distortion: NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco released the NOAA Scientific Integrity Policy at #AGU11 http://bit.ly/t72vtT
#NOAA data for northeast US waters show that average pH in 2010 = the extreme lows from 30yrs ago. #AGU11 Heading into uncharted territory
More from @BBCAmos here at #AGU11 RT @LizHadly: Without access to seals, anecdotes of increasing polar bear cannibalism http://bbc.in/sRj7KH
Mentions of the naked polyp hypothesis here at #AGU11 ocean acidification session http://bit.ly/tCm6X9 Corals surviving w/o skeletons: crazy
Reefs were already weaker, more fragile b/c of natural acidification. Human-caused pH drop = kicking reefs while they're down #AGU11
These crusts disappear globally about 6000 years ago b/c Earth undergoes natural acidification cycles along w/glacial cycles #AGU11
Robert Riding now discussing the bacterial crusts that used to form in reef cavities. They helped cement, stabilize reefs #AGU11
Seawater pH dropped by 0.4 units over 5000 years during Paleocene–Eocene transition. We're facing a drop of .3 in next 80yrs. #AGU11
Getting started in the ocean acidification session here at #AGU11 Barbel Hoernisch introducing geologic record of pH change.
OH at #AGU11: "NASA's policy is to follow the water to find life. Mine is to follow the beer to find [science writers]"
A moment of levity amidst #AGU11 madness: what will you do w/your poster after the mtg? How about science snowflakes? http://bit.ly/vgNhP1
Good for AAAS! MT @gingerpin: Thanks Jane Lubchenco & #agu11 - congrats on nifty webcasting tech. We''l attempt to copy it at #aaasmtg!
RT @BBCAmos: Oceans' deepest depth re-measured. It's hard to imagine 10,994m down. Deeper than Everest is tall. #AGU11 http://bbc.in/tesPaL
This year, the US set a new record - 12 natural disasters that cost more than $1 billion, and Lubchenco notes we are still counting. #AGU11
#NOAA received > 17,000 comments when they solicited public feedback on scientific integrity policy, "and is the better for it" #AGU11
Lubchenco: Expectation of peer review, encouragement for #NOAA scientists to publish & attend sci mtgs highlights of integrity policy #AGU11
Q to Lubchenco: how will this change existing #NOAA practices, say in context of DeepWater Horizon. #AGU11
Lubchenco: #NOAA scientists may speak with the public and reporters without seeking approval from public affairs office #AGU11
Dr. Jane Lubchenco is rolling out #NOAA's scientific integrity policy now at #AGU11 http://bit.ly/uANw2N
