What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2008
A social network for scientists, where researchers share papers, ask and answer questions and look for collaborators.
A 2014 study in Nature found it the largest academic social network by active users. Its user numbers grew from 25,000 in 2009 to more than a million in 2011.
In 2008: Founded by the virologist Ijad Madisch with two co-founders. It started in Boston and soon moved to Berlin.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
