Instagram can be a powerful social media tool for scientists. When used effectively, Instagram can advance research careers and further outreach goals. Unfortunately, very few researchers receive any training on how to use Instagram for professional purposes.
That’s where SciFund Challenge, an outreach-focused nonprofit, comes in with our new class: Using Instagram to Boost Your Science. Over three weeks, you’ll learn how to use Instagram to further your science. Additionally, since Instagram is focused on photos, we’ll also teach you how to create better images. Even better, by the end of the class, you’ll have created a personal Instagram plan to further your research or outreach goals. This class is being taught in partnership with the Louisiana State University’s College of Science and Communication across the Curriculum program. The class will be running for three weeks, from January 27- February 17, 2017. The class is intended for academics that are new to Instagram and it is open to academics at any level, in any discipline. The class will be online, so all countries are welcome. The deadline to apply is January 26th, but our classes usually fill up early. Act soon if you are interested!
