Creating Additional Identites
Both teachers and students will eventually create additional identities. Using different identities lets you explore, post, comment, and learn about more aspects of science and the scientific world. Interacting is what MySciLife is all about. There is no limit to the number of identities a user can have, but exact duplicate identity names cannot exist in MySciLife.
When you’re ready to create an additional identity, go to the Manage Identities page, click the “+Create Identity” button and follow the onscreen prompts.
