Dear Colleagues,
Communicating research to a broader audience has become a hot topic over the last few years. The rise of open access has led to an increase in demand for research to be made more accessible, and services such as Altmetric ensure that the online commentary and engagement relating to research outputs is more transparent than ever before.
What role do science communicators have to play in this? In particular, what impact do those that blog about research have on this broader audience, and how does this shape how a research output is received?
Join us for this free webinar to hear from 2 prominent science communicators, Rolf Degen and Neuroskeptic, who will speak about their own experience. They’ll discuss what motivates them to blog and how they see their content influencing our understanding of published academic work:
Bloggers and their role in the dissemination of scholarly information - Tuesday 7th March, 3pm GMT/10am EST

Please feel free to forward this invitation to any colleagues who might like to attend. There will be time for questions and all registrants will receive a recording after the session.
Kind regards,
Catherine Williams
Altmetric
