New: I wrote a recap of ScioLang, the Seven Things You Should Know About Non-English Science Communication.
What is #ScioLang?
ScioLang is an open conversation about how science is generated, shared, and communicated online, extending beyond English-speaking audiences. It is also a session of ScienceOnline Together, happening on Raleigh, North Carolina, on February 2014.
The content of ScioLang is build by the participants. You can participate right now in the conversation by using the #ScioLang hashtag on Twitter.
