Dear all,
since Twitter was taken over by Elon Musk, a lot of researchers have left that social media. I too no longer actively use twitter, although I am kind of sad because it was a great platform to foster connections with researchers outside your typical bubble and also engage with laypeople. You were also able to package your research into small, easily digestible tidbits by creating sharepics or max. 240 char long summaries...
Anyway, where are you doing scicomm now? Is it mastodon? LinkedIn? Or something else entirely? And how would you judge your outreach possibilities there? Researchgate is great for reaching my direct colleagues, but real scicom needs to strive for more, imho...
Good question! Twitter helped a lot before, now it is not so dynamic. I use it less nowadays but still use. It is the must during the conferences and as a news point in my field. LinkedIn gives good coverage as your posts are visible to the second and third level connections, but here you can't post too often (compered with Twitter when you could post about every presentation at the conference you participate).
RG is good in communicating your published papers to others in your field.
Will see if Threads will finally come to Europe, it sounds interesting and relevant at least, but too early to say what it will be...
I must say Threads is a frontrunner in offering a unique experience. With regards to professional networking, it provides new avenues for professionals to connect, share insights and explore career opportunities. I also would like to see what they have in store for us.
