Do you lie at wake at night worrying that you might have missed the latest words of wisdom on Sciencebase? Are you concerned that a new post might have published that you desperately wanted to comment on and now it’s too late? Well…fear not. There are so many ways to connect with Sciencebase and sibling sites Sciencetext Tech Talk and the SciScoop Science Forum that you really can rest easy.

On Facebook – become a Sciencebase fan and you get to read the headlines from SB, ST, SC and more as they appear. You can also comment right there and then without having to hop back and forth between sites.

On Twitter – join the almost 6500 followers who keep up to date with the Sciencebase family live as posts appear and as other links, tidbits, and headlines are added.

On Delicious – If you’re wondering what tasty extras Sciencebase has found you should also join the delicious network. This page is also now playing host to incoming press releases tagged “forsciencebase”.

On Youtube – Sciencebase keeps several playlists, the Random Samples selection is growing slowly with some of the most interesting video clips.

Via RSS/Newsfeed – You can quickly and easily add the Sciencebase newsfeed to your RSS reader, aggregator, iGoogle page, or any of dozens of other systems using this link. Just click through and follow the instructions.

Via Newsletter – If you prefer not to jump into social media and would like a more traditional connection route to Sciencebase, click this link and follow the instructions to subscribe to the email newsletter for updates from the site.

If you’re a true traditionalist, you can even email Sciencebase’s David Bradley at david.bradley-at–sciencebase.com and he might even reply.

Check out the Sciencebase Tizmo page for a snapshot of the whole Sciencebase family of sites and the Gizapage for related social networks.

Oh, by the way, if you visit Sciencebase from one of the social networking, social media, social bookmarking (call them what you will), the RSS feed or another subscribed/bookmarked route, you shouldn’t see the block of ads at the top of each post. So, there’s another reason to get connected with Sciencebase.

Thanks to Brad Sams at Neowin for the inspiration for the opening par.
