This SICSS course "Social Media - My research as a brand" aims at young researchers and deals with the challenging question(s), if and how to use social media in and for science.
For many scientists, social media platforms such as LinkedIn, X (still?) Instagram have become an integral tool for global networking, sharing research ideas, and job search. But, what is a good way for scientists to make the best use of these platforms?
In this 1-day-workshop, the group guided by Dr Karin Bodewits will look at the pros and cons of different social media platforms and will make the first steps towards brushing up your online profile.
Furthermore you will discuss the following questions:
- Why should I (not) go on social media?
- Which platforms do your peers use and what do they (not) get out of it?
- Different platforms for different purposes. Is there a platform that can serve your purpose?
- How can you make an impressive and effective social media profile?
- How to write a catchy post?
