The best way to network in science is to be earnest and unafraid.

Earnest in that you take a genuine interest in understanding (and not just undercutting) other people's work, and unafraid in that you're not afraid to email anyone questions, talk to them at conferences, or ask to stop by and chat when you're traveling through their city.

After doing this for several years I basically accidentally found myself 'highly networked.'
