For scientists, Twitter provides a space to get advice, collaborate, and share research with colleagues around the world. According to a recent survey by C&EN of 244 chemists who use Twitter, 70% use the platform to network within their chemistry subdisciplines. Just 52% of chemists say they use Twitter to network with other disciplines and sciences. C&EN took a closer look at the #ChemTwitter network with Paulette Vincent-Ruz, a PhD candidate in chemistry education at the University of Pittsburgh who researches the experiences and environments that make someone identify as a chemist or chemistry fan. Our study of over 2,000 chemistry accounts reveals that #ChemTwitter is more fragmented than it may first appear. Get to know these Twitter silos better, not to mention whom you should follow to expand your own network, in an online experience at cenm.ag/twittersilos. Silo breakers are chemists on Twitter who bridge the gaps. For example,
