Do you want to discuss, collaborate or network with other scientists in your field of research? There are a number of websites available aimed specifically to create scientific communities.
• The ACS Member Network is a networking site for ACS members and student affiliates. It aims to “facilitate scientific collaboration among chemical science professionals around the world”.
• The Graduate Junction brings together Masters, Doctoral and Postdoctoral researchers to provide a way of discussing research interests and exchange of useful knowledge. It is created by graduate students and is open to any field of research.
• MySDScience.com is a local scientific community forum for San Diego. They provide tools to make connections with local scientists, list local events and jobs and are involved in raising science education awareness.
• OpenWetWare, created by graduate students at MIT, is a place for labs and individuals to “organize their own information and collaborate with others easily and efficiently”. It seeks to “promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering”. Of particular interest is the Protocols page,where researchers share techniques. Labs from Caltech, Harvard and UCSD, among others, are currently listed on the site.
