How to get the most out of it for you and for others
Mike Young teaches researchers how to use social media platforms such as LinkedIn and X for science communication. His background is in media and journalism and he used to work for the news media University Post.
In this episode, Mike shares his insights on:
- Using LinkedIn as a scientist
- The different ways in which you can be active on LinkedIn
- Ethical perspectives in science communication and scientists’ obligations to be generous on social media, to educate and to share
- Finding a healthy balance between the ‘too much’ and the ‘too little’ of social media use
Mike explains why he thinks its a good idea to:
- Use LinkedIn to get in touch with non-scientists, who work in fields and industries related to yours
- Set aside fixed times to stay connected, and to maintain your own focus and concentration
