This week in the ReFigure Undergraduate Research Course we recap what we have learnt and ask how you can turn this learning into a science identity on social media . You may have heard of “fake news” on social media. By sharing your learning you can combat fake trends, educate people about science, build a science network and identity and find jobs.
- Find two papers/news articles/blogs to share on social media. Create a short tweet length description and add it here along with link to article.
- Create or update your Linkedin profile
- Post a paper you read/ a ReFigure you read or created/ a tool or tip from this course that you enjoyed on Linkedin or other social media
- Read 2 of these resources to help you understand science communication on social media and the dos and don’ts.
