#SciCommTip 10 [4/10]

To increase your academic #SocialMedia reach:

6️⃣ Post information that‘s USEFUL TO YOUR FOLLOWERS! As you’re using your account to boost your #AcademicCareer, you’re targeting your peers. Useful to them is anything that’s relevant to their work, saves them time, or they enjoy reading. Try highlighting/commenting on recent developments in the field, a policy change, news from a conference,…

#SciCommTip 9 [1/6]

You're a #Scientist and want to boost your #AcademicCareer? Use your #SocialMedia account to make your name a brand!

How to get started:

1️⃣ Choose your social network. Because you're targeting your peers, that's #Mastodon (#Twitter?) or possibly #LinkedIn. (Don't have much experience using the latter, but some find it useful & you're less likely to be confronted with anonymous hatred.) Check who of your peers are on which network.

A shocking response from a university professor. She got Erasmus+ Internship grant and applied to a lab at Stockholm University. He declined the student because Turkey doesn't support Sweden to join NATO. Weird!

#SciCommTip 4 [1/2]

You’re a #Scientist and want to communicate to boost your #AcademicCareer? Great idea!

FIRST: Define your area of expertise. What is it you want to be a known expert for?

(This may not be easy to define at an early stage of your career, but should become clearer as you go. May also change over time!)

THEN: Make your name a brand!

How? See ⤵️ [2/2] for the areas to focus on.
