How To Get Started and Get Connected: A Beginner’s Guide to Social Media …Articles by Judith Bernabe, Joseph Dunn, Alissa Frontauria, and Kristina Kannheiser • Art by Giorgino Macalino
I
t seems like yesterday when we had rotary dialer phones. We saw the brick-sized mobile phone from the movie, Wall Street, and experienced the dawn of the dot-com age that has come and gone. Now, we are in what most writers call the social media age. The age of over communication: where the news hits Twitter as the reporters cover the scene on the spot and where everyone and everything as significant as the Pope to a random stick of gum is documented. Each amazing, irrelevant, outstanding, and hilarious posting, picture, tweet, and comment has found a permanent home in our digitized world. The Internet, our friend, an equipped ally, and sometimes frenemy, is full of useful tools that bring small businesses and big businesses to the 21st Century. We use it to obtain everything, from the simplest form of information like the best recipes, to the more technical such as scientific definitions and the latest breakthroughs in research. For most Gen X, Gen Y, and beyond, it is hard to imagine how people communicated before the age of the worldwide web. Now, we have tablets, smart phones, smart watches…these tech toys have us all hooked. If you are not already doing so, it is about time you utilize that smart phone. When three year olds are learning faster than thirty year olds, you know it is time to catch up or get left behind. Silly as it sounds, why is it important to catch up to the times? What is so fantastic about the social media sphere? Maybe those 554,750,000 twitter accounts, 1 billion Facebook fans, 1 million Instagram users, and the 200 million LinkedIn members are on to something that you are missing out on. Maybe, just maybe, staying connected is important in our daily lives. This is a polarizing topic in itself, but let us just assume that you are still reading and I am still somehow connecting with you. Do you want to know how to get started? Perhaps you would like to get informed and start keeping an eye on your seventeen year old, whose activities are perplexing and hard to understand. Perhaps you would like to be able to get in touch with old high school friends with whom you have lost contact? Wait, maybe you want to network and find a job?

Who can master the inner workings of every social media platform without the basics? Before we begin, a few words of caution: this is not for those who would like to stay off-grid. Read your corporate policy for social media accounts. Please take note that downloading these apps and signing up for these accounts require you to be agreeable to the terms and conditions as well as privacy policies of each social media tool. Be aware that when you do find your preferred platform in the social media realm, there lies the danger of getting addicted to it.

HAPPI Anti-Aging Conference
…Meyer Rosen few days ago I had some delicious rolls in a Portuguese restaurant. So good were they, I took some home. Put them in a paper bag, I did, and waited till morning. Alas, when teeth met roll the next day, it was as hard as a rock. My wife Selma cried out, “Maybe I can help you with that.” Okay. A few minutes later she handed me the roll, except now the skin was soft and supple as if it was freshly baked. “How did you do that?” I inquired. She responded, “I put some water on it and heated it briefly in the microwave.” Now, fresh from the fantastic HAPPI Anti-Aging Conference (Thanks, Tom Branna), and with my Consulting hat on, I said to myself, “How did the roll become young again?” There are no long telomeres hidden in my microwave… A little voice in my head said, “Gee, the water was put on the OUTSIDE of the skin and the heat moved it into the cells making them moist again.” Kind of like reversing trans-epidermal water loss, thermally pushing water INTO the skin. Then I thought, what if we took some apple pectin (a polymeric thickener and film former) and applied it as a gel to the outside of the stratum corneum and gently heated it with infrared radiation (not those nasty UVA and UVB rays). It would be neat if we chose those Swiss apples that don’t age; you know, the ones that don’t turn brown. Spa treatment, anyone? Maybe we could force the water into the cells of the skin. Maybe, just maybe, with some extracts of the stem cells from the Swiss apples thrown into the gel we could even enhance the process and stay within FDA guidelines about our claims (Thanks, Annie Ugurlayan, J.D. and Patricia Farris, M.D.)… Now, with all due respect to Howard Murad, M.D. and his wonderful wisdom; not to mention his “Eat Your Water” outstanding talk and book; we might be able to bring back some plumpness to our skin! (Thanks, Ronni Weinkauf, Ph.D. and Barbara Green: Neostrata!!) Hydration from the OUTSIDE-IN. Hmmm… Of course, during my mind’s meandering I did not do a patent or Google search to see if someone else already had this idea. Nevertheless, if you decide to try it and get good clinical trials, remember I am a coinventor. The bottom line is that this was a great conference with terrific speakers and ample networking opportunities. Thank you Navin Geria for your contributions.

First, what is Facebook? Facebook is the world’s most popular social networking website. It is a platform for individuals, companies, and organizations to get connected, share experiences, thoughts, and ideals with colleagues, friends, family, or like-minded idealists online. It is great for connecting and brainstorming amongst businesses and consumers. To those who have successfully avoided social media’s 700-pound gorilla, but would like to start now, let us give you a crash course on how to get started. First, create a free account by going to the website. You will see the screen that looks like the figure below. You will then be asked to create a profile, which could be as little or as much information about you that you would like to share with the world. When you have signed up you can download the app from the app store and login using your e-mail address and password. You can then connect with friends by allowing the app to download your address book or you can choose to skip that step. Start following pages for companies, celebrities, and the like. All you need is an e-mail address to get started, be it a professional or personal one. Make sure you use your real name though, as Facebook has started to crack down on fake accounts. Once you have created a profile, then you can start interacting with your friends by posting on your wall, chatting with friends, and sharing websites. This is a great tool to collaborate with a wide group of people. You can upload photos and share memories of special events. You can use the like button to agree or ‘like’ what people, companies, or organizations say, post, or comment about. Facebook offers plenty of benefits to our industry. It allows us to reach a large audience, from chemists to consumers. You can market to a more specific audience, while also getting feedback from the consumers. It is a very simple way to communicate with others. Manage your privacy settings by going to settings, on the upper right hand corner. You can control what is posted and what others can see on your timeline and who can tag you. You can even control key words that can be searchable in different search engines such as Yahoo, Google, Firefox, or Bing.

LinkedIn What is LinkedIn? If you are not in it and you are looking for a job, or just to network, we suggest you sign up. It is the world’s largest social network for professionals covering 200 countries and territories around the globe. Their mission is to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. With LinkedIn you get access to people, jobs, news, updates, and insights that help you be great at what you do. The biggest benefit is that it is the social media network that is most relevant to your professional growth. There are a number of benefits to joining LinkedIn, below are some key points. • You can establish your professional profile. • Build and maintain a broader network of professionals you can trust. • Find and reconnect with colleagues and classmates. • Learn about other companies. • Leverage powerful tools to find and reach the people you need. • Tap into the knowledge of your network. • Discover new opportunities. LinkedIn should be your primary focus when it comes to social media from a professional viewpoint. Not only is it the preferred network for professionals and high-income earners, but also people are twice as likely to trust what they read on LinkedIn as on any other available platforms. It functions as your online resume where future employers can find you or those seeking your expertise can contact you. And since your profile is the foundation of your success on LinkedIn, you need to make sure it reflects you appropriately. Before you start making connections and networking, though, it is crucial for you to take the time to completely fill out your free profile. In order to get started, visit the website and complete your profile. While the website is very user friendly, sometimes a ‘how to’ can help. Since it has already been covered by WikiHow, here is a link to the article: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-LinkedIn#Signing_Up. From there you should then take the time to optimize your profile. This will allow you to get more exposure and reach more of your target audience. Here are some ways to do just that: • Display picture: the first thing that people look at is your picture, so it’s imperative that it looks professional. • Summary section: the section where you highlight your accomplishments and expertise. • Experience section: acts as your online resume to highlight your current and previous job, education, and your industry. • Skills and expertise: can be used to highlight your various skills, as well as keyword-load search terms prospects will be using to find you. It is also the same section that allows people to give you one-click endorsements. Think hard about the terms you include, as they reflect your value and you cannot control what people decide to endorse. • Recommendations: the part where you can have a few previous clients and colleagues provide your first LinkedIn recommendation. The power of third-party credibility is invaluable. You will appear more credible and may get more referrals. You can choose to review this part before posting on your page. • LinkedIn groups is where all the action is. It functions as an online forum to discuss your business interests. Currently, some forums are focused on natural products, others on raw materials and general formulation. People use these groups to find manufacturers and also to troubleshoot problems. The NYSCC has a LinkedIn account that is a platform for posting event information, Q&A section at our groups account, and networking.

Twitter is a free social networking service that gives users unlimited tweets or posts composed of 140 characters. Succinct and straight to the point, these tweets can be visible for all to see, and delivered to all the user’s followers. Being a user has many advantages, and when done right, Twitter can help people boost the users’ image on the web, be more informed, and get more exposure. Users can be anyone from A-list celebrities to Companies. What are the advantages of using Twitter? Here are a few that many users and companies agree on. • Information. Used right, Twitter can be your personalized newspaper, delivering updates from your favorite news anchor, channel, show, or cause. Since most classic media have migrated online, all of them have signed up for Twitter. You can get live feed from everywhere. Updates from CNN, the White House, or a link to the latest article from Science Daily or National Geographic. It is all about how you manage your account and how you use it. Follow the right twitters and be as knowledgeable about current affairs or celebrities as you would like to be. • Branding and website traffic. Both personal and professional brands can be reinforced and supported by Twitter. A message can be spread and retweeted faster than any other media out there. As long as you have a fair amount of followers and enough of them re-tweet them to their followers, Twitter can be the platform that boosts your brand and increases your website traffic. • Events. Track events, tweet live from events, and get questions and answers out there as quickly as you can type them. It is a great way to promote events to all of twitter sphere and track them by using a # or @, for example: #NYSCC or @NYSCC. • Votes and feedback. Using Twitter, tracking favorites, and re-tweets can be managed effectively and is a good meter to check if one topic is more relevant or popular to your followers than others. • Mobility and live feed. Twitter is a mobile tool, so anyone and everyone with a smartphone or tablet can download and tweet. As long as the content does not exceed 140 characters, it can be a powerful tool to communicate and spread a message, content, or video. Remember what happened in Tunisia and Egypt? The two most powerful platforms they used in 2012 were Twitter and Facebook. Let’s get started with the basics. Sign up. We highly recommend you use your personal e-mail address, as different policies govern social media accounts at different companies. Start tweeting and follow companies or celebrities by clicking on the follow icon indicated by the arrows below. When you are done signing in, create a username that you would like the public to see since all your tweets will be marked by this signature. For example, our username for NYSCC is @NYSCC. Manage your accounts password, link to phone, or retrieval e-mail address. You can also change your security settings and privacy, customized to how you would like to leave your footprint in the Twitter sphere. Another Twitter feature that makes it easy to keep track of your account is the e-mail notification setting. You can receive an e-mail if and when your tweet is marked as favorite, re-tweeted, or if you are mentioned in a tweet.

It’s All in Your Head – Hair and Scalp News EDUCATIONAL HOUR SPEAKERS Speaker:
Nava Dayan, Ph.D.
Topic: Scalp Skin Innate Immunity and Biota: Genomic and Proteomic Testing Opportunities Date: January 15, 2014 • 4:30 PM Location: Pines Manor • Edison, New Jersey
Abstract:
T
he scalp is unique among other skin areas with relatively high follicular density and an elevated rate of sebum secretion. The protected dark and warm environment on the scalp surface provides a welcoming ground for population of microorganisms that may be different from that present in other anatomical regions. Scalp skin is one of the thickest skin areas of the body, and carries supplementary blood circulation. In addition, it is heavily populated with sebaceous glands, which produce sebum that protects hair. Naturally, scalp associated disorders involve imbalances of follicular secretions and factors related to innate immunity such as pH, biota, and inflammation. Lipophilic yeast Malassezia is widely accepted to play a role in scalp disorders. However, since many of the scalp microorganisms are not culturable using current culture techniques it is difficult to elucidate the role of other biota in scalp health. Genomic and proteomic techniques able to identify biota and its secretions can give rise to better understanding of disorders and pave paths for innovation in prevention and treatment. In this presentation we will compare biochemical differences between scalp skin and other skin areas, follicular density and secretion, typical biota, and innovative genomic and proteomic testing opportunities.

Topic: Age-induced Hair Graying: What Goes Wrong and Do We Know How to Fix It Date: January 15, 2014 • 6:30 PM Location: Pines Manor • Edison, New Jersey Open registration: 4:00 PM Educational Hour Starts: 4:30 PM • Dinner: 5:30 PM
CHAPTER MEETING COST: Pre-registered SCC members: $35 ($70 at door) • Pre-registered non-SCC members: $75 ($110 at door) Students: $10 ($50 at door) • Emeritus: Free ($40 at door) Register online at: www.nyscc.org.
Abstract:
H
uman hair has no significant biological role, and is kept (or removed) for social and cosmetic reasons only. Hair graying is undesired by many societies, as it signals the process of aging and contradicts a cultural wish to look younger. Gray, white, or “salt and pepper” hair fibers result from the partial or complete loss of pigment from the hair shaft. Numerous mechanisms have been suggested to explain this loss, and various strategies have been developed to mask, inhibit, or reverse hair graying. There is no scientific evidence that any nutritional supplement, herbal remedy, product, or diet could reverse, stop, or slow hair graying. However a reversal of the graying process, while rare, is possible, resulting from side effects of certain medications. Studies are ongoing to better understand the hair graying process and to identify possible therapies.
