Social media is a fast and accessible way for scientists to communicate about the results of their research, find potential collaborators, and make a positive connection between the science and the public at large. This episode looks at scientists’ use of social media, what platforms and strategies they employ, and what advantages the different social media platforms offer. We also highlight the guidance that the QUEST project has produced to help scientists improve their social media activities.
