New class: using Twitter to advance your career
Twitter can be a powerful tool for scientists, alt-ac researchers, and
academics generally. When used effectively, Twitter can advance
research careers, improve productivity, and further outreach goals.
Unfortunately, very few researchers receive any training on how to use
Twitter for professional purposes.
That’s where SciFund Challenge, an outreach-focused nonprofit, comes
in with our new class: Using Twitter to Advance Your Research Career.
Over three weeks, you’ll learn the basics of Twitter, how to avoid
social media pitfalls, and how to use Twitter to advance your goals.
Even better, by the end of the class, you’ll have created a personal
Twitter plan to further your research career or outreach.
The class will be running for three weeks, from September 18-October
8, 2016. The class is intended for academics that are new to Twitter,
but would like to get started with it. The class is open to academics
at any level, in any discipline. The class will be online, so all
countries are welcome.
The deadline to apply is September 17th, but our classes usually fill
up early. Act soon if you are interested! Here's the link for more
