Ego Blogging of the Month: Thanks @SciAm for following selecting me as one of your "recommended" folks you follow on twitter

Another ego blog here. I am very honored that Scientific American listed me as one of the folks they follow on twitter (see Recommended: Science Folks We Follow on Twitter: Scientific American).

The tweeterers they list are:

• carlzimmer, science writer Carl Zimmer
• phylogenomics, evolutionary biologist Jonathan Eisen of the University of California, Davis
• seanmcarroll, theoretical physicist Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology
• RebeccaSkloot, science writer Rebecca Skloot
• Astro_Mike, NASA astronaut Mike Massimino
• BadAstronomer, astronomer and writer Phil Plait

Of course, I agree with them about me. I do follow Zimmer and Skloot already and will check out the others.

If you know nothing about twitter, I recommend checking it out. I think it has enormous potential as a tool in science communication (e.g., see this Bioscience article on science and twitter)
