Say hi to the CSE 3000 class I'm presenting to right now. A bunch of Computer Science students who would love to know what your favourite online tools for scientists are!
Hi from Scotland - FriendFeed, Slideshare, Mendeley etc.
- Graham Steel
Hi from Colorado. I'm too long out of science to have real favorite online tools for scientists, but might I suggest your friendly local science librarian as an online tool you might not have thought of that way before? (Uh, not that you're THAT kind of a tool, John. You know what I mean.)
- Marianne
I'm a humanist, so I'm not necessarily the guy to ask. But I'd say if you can find an active supportive online community like I have here on FriendFeed, treasure that.

Hi from upstate New York. I really like Scopus and Scifinder Scholar.
- Elizabeth Brown
Thanks, everyone. Your comments got a few chuckles from the class. For those that are interested, I posted my presentation and some additional thoughts here: http://scienceblogs.com/confess...

I agree that doing demos and specific examples is a good way to really show what it is all about

I think the thing that got the biggest reaction was when I classified a couple of galaxies in Galaxy Zoo. "Hey, I just did some science!"
