My feeling is that science is become more co-operative all the time, but there's still a long way to go. Is Twitter a useful tool for scientists? Let's get a group of us there and start a debate!

I need to follow someone around and see where teh value is... Alan? But I think one of the big problems is that by nature (more accurately human design) science research is a competitive place. And everyone is already too busy to help someone that isn't going to put their name on a paper. It may change with the big-science collaborative projects.... and a new generation of kids joined at the hip to a cell phone or the like. I couldn’t get the twitterscan to work….
