BioEdge is now on Twitter. We spend a lot of time each week surfing in search of stories for the newsletter – far more than we can possibly publish. Using Twitter allows us to share some of the other stories with you.
Is Twitter useful? You bet. If you are interested in bioethics, you have to keep abreast of the latest developments. By sharing your comments, links, and information, you can keep BioEdge and your colleagues up-to-date. Twitter is increasingly important for search, as well. It’s a great way to find out what the buzz is. Sign up and see. BioEdge tweets at http://twitter.com/bioedge. See you there.
