Using Twitter as a Postgraduate Researcher

A TGS Fridays talk, hosted by the University Graduate School:
 
24 May 2013, 12:30 to 14:00, The Learning Centre, UG05
 
Social media is everywhere, so why not use it to your advantage? More than just a tool to keep in touch with friends or to look at pictures of kittens, social media can be used for research, business and personal gain. This talk will introduce Twitter (as an example of social media) to the beginner, and introduce ways in which the tool can be used in information dissemination and collation, to keep up to date with research, and as a forum among academics in similar fields. It will also highlight the pitfalls, so keenly exaggerated by the media, and how to avoid them.
 
A free buffet lunch will be provided.
