concern with blogging is that platform might thin out if many. Better to have a few good central blogs many can contribute to? #solo12wis
Following on from #solo12WIS - if there are any women wanting to blog but would like some help starting get in touch, we could help.
#solo12 #solo12wis guide to twitter for nervous academic - Dorothy Bishop deevybee.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/gentle…
a little disappointed with #solo12WIS event - nothing really suggested except "sorry women are doing it wrong"
what 'women drop out of science' means? Applies just to academia? I did a post-doc, now in sci pub and blog-have I dropped out? #solo12wis- Hard to keep 'Women in Science' from sprawling into other gender issues. How best to address specifics when such a huge topic? #solo12WIS
@soozaphone @drpeteetchells Do non-UCLunis have Roberts point system? Maybe allocate time/help thru this as valuable PhD training #solo12wis
Tool kit of all the discussions from #solo12WIS available on the @SpotOnLondon website
@Pettorelli @WaspWoman Excellent session on women in science and how to improve their visibility at #solo12wis well done!!
Wow, if our #solo12journals session goes half as well as #solo12WIS I will be very happy!
Here's the women in science event info - video, blog posts, shared documents and more: bit.ly/SkhuUe #solo12WIS
Sounds like I should be at #solo12WIS Instead, I am at home, alone, looking after my child...
'Why are we talking about what women get out of twitter? Would we say "What men get out of twitter"? Women aren't all the same!' #solo12WIS
Great audience point: wrong to consider women as 1 entity - all have different needs, motivations for online activity. #solo12WIS
Self-promotion has me thinking about peer-promotion. Are we diverse in our peer-promotion? #solo12wis
So, what is the best solution to "improving visibility of female scientists"? #solo12 #solo12WIS- #solo12WIS great comment: it is about what helps_people_ online, not just women. Please provide examples of what has helped you.
Should the real question be how can an online presence help everyone not just women? #solo12WIS
Not just differences across disciplines, need to think about diffs with race, class. #solo12WIS
@FunSizeSuze @drpeteetchells Students should have support, ie mentor to help them with tone/accuracy of blogs etc #solo12wis- key point from the floor at #solo12WIS: women are NOT A UNIFORM GROUP. let's get some data about what our needs are up in here!
#solo12wis Ed right. Self-promotion is necessary for all bloggers/writers who want to reach any kind of audience, and men do it far more.- How best to reach the readership you're trying to address? Can be difficult to target the right people through twitter/blogs etc #solo12WIS
