This is a presentation I gave at the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology 2013 (http://www.sebiology.org/meetings/Valencia/Valencia.html). It contains lots of tips for scientists to use social media appropriately and efficiently. It also highlights examples of social media in academia and types of possible content.

Linking research with social media
- 1. Linking research and teaching with social media Anne Osterrieder (Oxford Brookes University) Jeremy Pritchard (University of Birmingham) #SEB2013
- 4. Social media is just another tool
- 7. Test the water – you can just read before registering
- 8. Make it easy for others to find you – include relevant keywords in your profile
- 10. Find interesting people to follow • Use ‘search’ function with your keywords. • Go through your contacts’ friends lists. • Curated lists, circles… • Check out relevant hashtags.
- 11. Hashtags # - turn a word into a link
- 14. Provide content
- 15. Blogging http://www.aobblog.com - powered by http://www.wordpress.com
- 23. Increasing the reach of your content • Make use of hashtags. • It’s OK to ask others to re-share (e.g. subject-specific accounts, users with many followers…).
- 25. Don’t be afraid to follow and interact with people – that’s why they are on social media!
- 28. What to be aware of
- 30. Think before posting unpublished data, gossip, too personal things…
- 31. “Don’t feed the trolls”! Think about discussion guidelines for your blog, do not let “flame wars” explode. If in doubt, step away!
- 32. Be aware of the nature of the medium – missing body language, non-English speakers, emoticons, interpretation…. Misunderstandings will happen, but can be cleared up.
- 34. Managing ‘information overload’ • Follow only relevant content. • Make use of lists, ‘favourite’ functions, productivity software to organise information. • Dip in and out rather than trying to keep up. • Smartphone/tablet apps.
Editor's Notes
