#ECRchat October 11, 2012

  1. Daylight savings time started in some Australian states this week. A bit of confusion in the leadup, but we made it in the end...

    Some introductions while everyone gets settled. Where is everyone tweeting from today? What ‘social media’ do you use? #ECRchat

  20. I aimed to keep things quite open with general questions. The main benefits were seen to be networking, information sharing, feedback and promoting research. However research collaborations, teaching, and finding research participants were also mentioned.

    #ECRchat Q1. What do you see as the benefits of social media use in Academia? Different benefits to different #socmed ?

    One of the main benefits for me is finding out about pubs that I wouldn't have seen otherwise #ECRchat
