For Twitter users, along with fans of science journalism, Real Scientists is "a rotational Twitter account featuring scientists, researchers, clinicians, writers, communicators, and policymakers talking about their lives and their work." Each week, Real Scientists invites a different scientific expert to "curate" their Twitter account, providing links and commentary about recent scientific news and research through tweets and retweets. For instance, during this past week (starting on February 25, 2018), the Real Scientist Twitter account has been curated by Dr. Michael D.L. Johnson, Assistant Professor of Immunobiology at the University of Arizona. Just one week earlier (February 18-24), the page was curated by Dr. Stephani Page, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of North Carolina who holds a doctorate in biochemistry and biophysics. Visitors can learn about past curators in the section entitled Our Curators or by exploring the site's archives.
