If you #sciwri12 people didn't agree to @DavidQuammen's tweet embargoes first you don't have to honor. Right, @ivanoransky? (Hi, David!)

Boss STILL sucks.. MT @NerdyChristie Dreamed of owning your own business? That's what you’re doing if you're a fulltime freelancer #sciwri12

TRUTH RT @nancyshute: We journos need to be vehemently vocal on the fact that reporting is more than parroting a press release. #sciwri12

RT @WhySharksMatter: “@NerdyChristie: Tale from a PIO: out of 30 stories off a release, only 2 called the researcher. disturbing #SciWri12”

Alternative Q: Does the public need PIOs to need journalists? MT @SMacSorley: At #sciwri12: Do PIOs need journalists any more?
