Navigating the social media minefield

Scientists and researchers seeking to announce promising findings, exchange ideas or contribute to policy discussions outside of academic circles may find social media an expedient tool.But increasingly, scientists and other professionals are discovering that online platforms can be a double-edged sword: while sharing their work and expertise is crucial for visibility and meeting funder expectations, it also exposes them to baseless criticism and even accusations of spreading false information.

Beware the fraudulent survey.

Surveys that use rating scale or yes/no answers will always yield results within only a bounded range of possibilities. Their findings are always influenced by the assumptions & interests - stated or otherwise - of those who designed them.
