Social media in academia and networking as a PhD student - Joseph Festa and Brad Richardson (Bonus Ep1)

The Genomics Lab

Something a little different - our first BONUS episode. Today we talk to Brad and Joe about our experience of using social media as a networking an science communications tool. Brad and Joe briefly introduce their research (for once, not genomics......) and we then discuss the pros and cons of a number of social media platforms, as well as the power of social media as a networking and opportunities tool. We had so much fun filming this episode, so we hope you enjoy listening to something a little more relaxed than the usual hardcore science!
