Social Media Policy

The ASCB encourages the use of social media before, during, and after the 2011 Annual Meeting. We ask that you abide by the following guidelines and accepted social media etiquette:

Do

• Follow us on Twitter@AmerSocCellBio. Use the hash tags #ASCB for general information and #ASCB2011 for Annual Meeting-related tweets.
• Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/AmerSocCellBio.
• Blog and Tweet about the meeting and what you are hearing and seeing (but without sharing details of any data presented; follow journal rules about data sharing).
• Converse with other attendees--suggest sessions to attend and posters to visit, chat about jobs in the Career Center, plan to meet in the Exhibit Hall, Educational Resources/Minorities Affairs Committee Booth in the Registration area, or at the Reception on Saturday night.
• Provide feedback to ASCB staff and the Program Committee--discuss topics of interest and/or speakers for next year's meeting, make suggestions for Symposia, Minisymposia, translational or workshop sessions, comment on the meeting format, etc.
• Keep criticism constructive, and think about whether you'd like your thoughts shared widely--because they may be.

Don't

• Use photographic or other recording devices—these are strictly prohibited in scientific sessions, poster sessions, and in the Exhibit Hall.
• Capture, transmit, or redistribute data presented at the meeting—this may preclude subsequent publication of the data in a scholarly journal. Please do not jeopardize your colleagues' work!
• Engage in rudeness or personal attacks.
