title = "STEM conversations in social media: Implications on STEM education",
abstract = "This paper investigated conversations in social media on STEM over the course of a year to find who are the most important people that may influence STEM education discussions as well as the trends in the topics of conversations. The findings reveal that the most influential users represent organizations (businesses and non-profits relating to STEM fields and STEM education), although facilitation of such conversations are influenced by individuals. Further, the trends in conversations largely center on topics, such as K-12 and graduate studies, engaging K-12 STEM practices, specific STEM disciplines, and STEM careers.",
