Posted by Rebecca Wild | Categories: Blog, Collaboration, Communication, Social media

Is conference Twitter a good thing?

Communication: talk to peers and the general public

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Collaboration, Communication, CV, Multimedia, Perspectives, Social media

Communication: talk to peers and the general public

As scientists, our work is often driven by data collection and results. But a key step in the scientific process, and one that increases the value of our findings, is the effective communication of our investigative processes and results. Science communication is not only important within our fields for the advancement of our disciplines – communication to other audiences also influences the public perception and credibility of scientists and the work we do.  Read more

Bonding in Boston: The importance of networking in science

Bonding in Boston: The importance of networking in science

A long time ago in a land galaxy far far away, there was a great gathering where those weary of the well-trodden trail of tenureships and grants repaired themselves. The gathering in question was the Naturejobs career expo, a free one-day event organized for students and scientists alike. Featuring some truly inspiring speakers, it gave a much-needed boost to my hope for a career in science that can be both emotionally and financially (yes, $$$) satisfying.  Read more

Craft your connection

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Blog, Careers articles, Collaboration, Communication, Faculty, Multimedia, Open access, Postgraduate, Relationships, Social media, Technology, Uncategorized

Craft your connection

Don’t forget that you need to nurture your online persona – the summation and entirety of every bit of online information about you or that involves you, both written and visual. Someone may well have already posted some of this. But you can still shape and guide a great deal of the accessible online information about you — and the image that this information creates — by actively managing the content over which you have some control.  Read more

Getting the message out

Posted by Karen Kaplan | Categories: Academia, Ask the expert, Blog, Careers articles, Communication, Perspectives, Research, Social media

Getting the message out

So you’re all over Twitter and Facebook and you even have a blog. Good on you – you’re your own public-relations and outreach specialist, getting the word out about your science. But what about the other kind of outreach – what’s still called science communication? Can you talk with a member of the press for an interview, or deliver your message to key thought leaders – such as government officials who decide on funding agencies’ annual budgets? Is it just a bit scarier than tweeting?  Read more

Scientific communities: How to avoid getting scooped on social media

Posted by Julie Gould | Categories: Multimedia, NJCE15, Open access, Social media

Many scientists are nervous about sharing their scientific work before publishing. The fear of being scooped is there when it comes to social media, but it will be difficult for someone to scoop your work based on a 140-character sentence.  Read more
