TL:DR – An out-of-date list of people working in science and their twitter accounts, dates back to 2009
I started a list of scientists and others on twitter back in the early days, long before Twitter itself even had lists. This is the legacy list of scientwists I started in January 2009. It eventually reached more than 500 members. Keeping it up to date became a chore early on when scientwists (scientists, science writers, science librarians, others in science) changed their avatars or bios. I have not updated the list for many years, many of these people will have left twitter in the meantime, some are still around, others have moved over to Mastodon.
