Promote Your Work on Social Media: Tweet About your Science Sparks!

For over 15 years (see archive), the MSK Library has been highlighting the published works of MSK authors on the Library’s homepage, showcasing a new “Today’s Science Sparks” each day of the 5-day work week.

To further support MSK authors as they promote their work on social media, a new feature has been added to the website that allows authors to simply click on the Tweet icon next to their highlighted paper in order to easily share the news about their recent publication on Twitter.
