Oh dear. Another social network. I guess I should also create a separate
page for these.
LinkedIn alone has a half a dozen that I have found. There may be more.

Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] Advice to scientists who want to work with the media
I recently set up a social networking site called Connecting Science which
aims to bring together scientists who are interested in working with the
media and performing other kinds of outreach work. The idea is to provide
them with a place to meet each other, exchange ideas/ info on outreach/media
resources, debate, ask questions etc.
And following on from the earlier threads about how to get more postgrads
involved in outreach, another aim of the site is to give scientists a bit of
moral support in the face of any institutional disapproval of their
activities. It's free (and ad-free) to join at: www.connectingscience.org
Please feel free to spread the word!
I also run a company that provides media and science communication training
for researchers: www.sciconnect.co.uk
All the best
