Mr Scicomm = Kirk Englehardt

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

Crastina

My current pet project is Crastina (from Scientia Crastina, Latin for ‘The Science of Tomorrow’)—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. Read more.

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

Globen den 2–3 juni 2015

Hej och tack för en trevlig kurs i ”syrenernas tid, i gullregnens månad”!

Den officiella kursdokumentationen är som sagt Skriva för webben av Erik Geijer – den i mina ögon bästa skriften om webbtexter på svenska. Se er gärna om när ni hämtar ner den från .SE – det finns en massa annat smått och gott i deras handboksskafferi!

Om ni har lust att ta er an något på engelska rekommenderar jag en e-bok av Rachel McAlpine från Nya Zeeland.

Utvalda föreläsningsbilder:

Här kommer några länkar som ni kanske kan ha nytta av:

Interpunktion i listor är som sagt lite knepigt, här kommer en lathund:

Lycka till med ert textarbete och hör gärna av er!

/Olle B.

Tack för senast & ursäkta sen återkoppling; det har varit en minst sagt intensiv månad!

Lycka till med ert textarbete!

Some LinkedIn tips

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.

Other power tools: Hootsuite & Twitterfall.

Hej, alla plugghästar! Hi, all book-worms!

I know that you are studying very hard right now, and I wish you all success with your exam after the weekend. Here is some stuff for you to take a closer look at during your Christmas leave! Hopefully, you will find the links and references useful (and perhaps entertaining).

I would also like to bring a message of comfort to you who have a fear for public speaking: remember that it gets easier for every time you face and conquer your fears! So keep on practizing in safe environments to increase your self-esteem. Why not during Christmas dinners and New Year’s parties, giving small speeches in front of your friends and family?

Good luck with your communication, and bear in mind what the student Leonidas Georgiou once wrote to me: ”Lets face it: badly communicated science is boring and a big component of doing science is motivation; we can’t expect to motivate people without good communication skills!”
