Great idea Paige, I've shared this with a couple of friends.

I hope you'll forgive me hijacking the thread to add in a slightly techy bit about Twitter. I recently learned that Instagram has switched off its support for Twitter 'cards' (those pictures that automagically appear when you include a link from a website) and so if someone has Instagram set to re-post to Twitter the picture won't appear, just a link to the picture on Instagram.

It's possible to set up a redirect that bypasses this so that the picture does show as a typical embedded image in a tweet. By happy coincidence I may have blogged about how to do this ;)

But so have lots of other people, and some of them several years before I discovered why the pictures didn't appear ;)

The LSU College of Science is joining forces with SciFund to offer a 3-week online course on Using Instagram to Boost you Science! 

The course starts January 27th. The registration is only $25. Over three weeks, you’ll learn the basics of Instagram, how to take better photos, and how to use Instagram to share your scientific experiences like the best in the business. 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 co-developed with Louisiana State University’s College of Science and Communication across the Curriculum program! 


Thanks!
