Hi Regarding facebook - I suspect plenty of people on this list are members... I am and use it to keep in touch with friends across the UK and abroad - not work related at all and I use my home email... It's esp good for sharing and commenting on photos. I suspect people would be reluctant to mix work and home life though. That said I hope the National science week group goes well.. I don't have anything do with Science week in my current role. Re Facebook generally - If anyone is considering joining facebook and worried about privacy you just change the settings to 'only my friends' see and either have a non-recognisable photo or something representing you (one of my pals has dolphins as her picture)...and don't join a regional network. And if someone wants to be your friend that you don't know - just ignore it... I'm lucky as I have such a common name I am pretty hard to find. I hope this helps.
