What's up doc? Join the blog for postgraduate researchers

Below are details of an interesting event about blogs for and by researchers :-


'What's up doc?' is a new blog which provides a forum for postgraduate researchers to share experience, give information and tips on matters relevant to them in a fun, yet informed way.


It replaces GRADBritain, which has been a popular online magazine written by and for postgraduate researchers studying in the UK.


As part of the launch we will run a free blog training day in Birmingham on 12 May. Apart from learning what makes a good blog post, we will also explore how to increase your online profile. To apply:


* post an example of an article on the 'What's up doc?' blog


* send an email outlining why you want to be involved, what discipline your research is in and what you would do to champion 'What's up doc?' to tennie.videler@vitae.ac.uk before 25 April.


We will select applicants based on this and reimburse reasonable travel expenses. Places are limited.
