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.
