  • because of “spectrometer” vs “spectrometry” in title
• Facebook connect? https://www.facebook.com/PublicLab
  • shannon’s account? Liz offers... dunno if you can undo connecting it...
  • need individual account, doesn’t exist for PLOTS.
  • it’s asking for hometown, interests... i think this is really supposed to be jeff’s account, so skipping
• Press release?
  • write a draft, share?
