What are you classifying as social media sites? Because as far as I know they are the kind of facebook where people aren't even capable of reading a common article. |
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. There are a lot of different people on these sites.
They each have individuals and groups dedicated to the pursuit of science and discussion of different fields.
On facebook alone there are groups of scientists dedicated to Bioinformatics for Next Gen Sequencing, Biochemical Engineering, there's even a group dedicated to the CRISPR/Cas-9 enzyme. Some of the more popular or mainstream ones would include Brian Cox, Carin Bondar or I Fucking Love Science (IFLS). All the major companies involved in science research also have their own dedicated pages.
On Twitter these sames scientists tweet about their work or comment on the latest advances.
LinkedIn is a bit more obvious as it's a professional networking site but you get the idea.
