Copenhagen, January 21, 2016

Thank you for a great day in Copenhagen! Below you will find a pdf with the lecture slides as well as a motley but useful collection of links .

Feel free to get in touch if you’re preparing a talk or have questions about your communication strategy. I strongly recommend liking the Crastina Facebook Page (read more below) as it offers a lot of interesting links about communications in science.

Good luck with your studies, research, networking and communication!

Some Twitter tips

TweetDeck

Download it here. Then use the search function to find some influencers in your field or hashtags related to your research subject. Start following 10–20 twitterers and extend your network slowly. Systematically remove those who are uninteresting, annoying or publishing too much. There is no point in following hundreds of people if you don’t want to become a specialised information traffic controller or influencer, alternatively work as a journalist or communication officer.

Symplur 

• Healthcare Hashtag project
• Healthcare Conferences

Tweeting during conferences

• A paper from J Environ Stud Sci.

Books

• Schultz, David M.: Eloquent Science
• Carter, Matt: Designing Science Presentations

Mr Scicomm = Kirk Englehardt

If you want a starting point for general science communication (hashtag #scicomm) your man is Kirk Englehardt from University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He knows what is going on, and presents summaries like this every week!

Crastina

I currently put a lot of effort in Crastina—a networking platform for the exchange of knowledge, skills, experience and opinion regarding scientific communication and science dissemination. The primary target group is early career scientists, but here you can find stuff which is useful for everybody with an interest for communication. (The name comes from Scientia Crastina, Latin for ‘The Science of Tomorrow’)

There are several ways to engage in the Crastina network activities.

• The Facebook Page offers interesting links every day.
• You can become a link curator of the FB page–just like these people.
• You can be a guest blogger–please get in touch
