This week I’m participating in the Textbook and Academic Authors Association conference in Philadelphia! I will live-blog on MethodSpace to share ideas I glean from presenters and attendees. After the conference I will post a summary of my own presentations, with links to resources.
TAA is an association of and for writers from all disciplines. You can find my monthly TAA Abstract blog posts here.
Read my post: Research Impact and Academic Blogging in the new issue of Research Information.
This online portfolio includes links to recent posts and articles, as well as instructional resources for my books.

I wrote this post for the terrific e-zine Discover Society, before the revelations about Facebook and Twitter complicity with the Russian election hacks. I ask the question: are there other ways we can build networks and community, a social web? Your thoughts?
