Social media is an increasing part of public scholarship and for some academics, it’s a way to bring their work to a wider audience and develop new skills. We speak to two scholars who have embraced sci-comms on platforms from YouTube to podcasts to find out how they got started and what works: 

  • YouTube scientist Simon Clark shares how he got started doing science and PhD vlogs 
  • Christina Zdenek, a post-doc and lab manager of the Venom Evolution Lab at the University of Queensland, gives her top three tips for communicating your research.
