On Saturday the 13th of May I delivered a talk on communicating science through social media in collaboration with the University of Sheffield. I shared my experiences on how I reached readers in over 136 countries and how I received over 250 thousand page hits across a number of channels within the first two years my PhD. My slides for the talk can be found here.
The event had an extremely good turnout for a Saturday afternoon, and the atmosphere of the Society of Spanish Researchers in the United Kingdom was very lively and friendly. I would like to thank the organisers and especially Margarita Segovia Roldan and Jacobo Elies Gomez pictured below.
I was also very happy to receive a gift of Spanish Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This was the first time I had received a gift after a talk. The Spanish Society of Research is awesome! Gracias!
