Science Communication Accelerator - scicomX (scicomm, social media, and digital science marketing)

For many of us researchers, communicating science is something that we do in addition to writing papers, teaching, supervising, and acquiring research grants. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming because it comes on top of all the other responsibilities. However, today's guest demonstrates that one doesn't need to be overwhelmed to be successful on social media while maintaining a regular job.
