Discussion & sharing
Choosing the right group
Screen for theme: does it fit you? Can you take something from the group and contribute as well?
Group members: isare those the people you want to share with (i.e. fellow scientists, policy makers, consultants)?
Active: is the group active or was the last discussion a workshop announcement four months ago?
Common Linkedin fears
I don’t want to share my personal things
What if I make a stupid comment in a group EVERYONE can see FOREVER?
What if person X (who I do not want to be associated with) invites me to be a friend?
