Platforms covered will include Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok. It will also discuss best practices on social media and draw on how-to articles, scholarly articles on using social media for science communication, and personal experience. Examples of academia and scholarship on social media and hashtags to use will also be included.
