To quantify both the critical and popular success of a scientist, I propose the Drake Index (TM). The Drake Index is defined as follows

(# Twitter Followers)/(Max Twitter Followers by a Person in your Field) + (#Citations)/(Max Citations by a Person in your Field)
Let's break the index down. There are two main components (Twitter followers and Citations) measuring popular and critical acclaim. But they are measured on different scales. So we attempt to normalize them to the maximum in their field so the indices will both be between 0 and 1. This means that your Drake index score is between 0 and 2. Let's look at a few examples to see how the index works.
Drake = (16.9M followers)/(55.5 M followers for Justin Bieber) + (0 citations)/(134 Citations for Natalie Portman) = 0.30
Rafael Irizarry = (1.1K followers)/(17.6K followers for Simply Stats) + (38,194 citations)/(185,740 citations for Doug Altman) = 0.27
Roger Peng - (4.5K followers)/(17.6K followers for Simply Stats) + (4,011 citations)/(185,740 citations for Doug Altman) = 0.27
Jeff Leek - (2.6K followers)/(17.6K followers for Simply + (2,348 citations)/(185,740 citations for Doug Altman) = 0.16
