[okfn-discuss] Sharing Science

[Ryan Watkins]

I am starting a new campaign to bring attention to the open-access online science fair we are hosting on WeShareScience.  With entries for the science fair due by June 1st and more than $11,000 in prizes, we want to create as much "buzz" as possible in the coming weeks.   And I am hoping that you can help spread the word through your Facebook and Twitter connections.

To create buzz we are using Thunderclap to flood Facebook and Twitter with everyone's postings about the science fair on the same day, at the same time (April 8th).  Thunderclap will do all the coordination for us, you simply have to visit the site below and indicate that you support the sharing of science.

Thunderclap is completely safe and they will only automatically post this one message on your Facebook and/or Twitter page (this one time) on April 8th.  After that you will not hear from them again (they promise). 

Thanks for supporting the sharing of scientific research!  And please feel free to forward this message along to others that support open access to research so they too can help create more buzz on April 8th.
