My talks, hosting, and panel moderating engagements are perfect for larger audiences.
With my practical and theoretical experience in science communication, I can address the intricate relationship between social media, scientific advances, and societal impact.
Speaker:
Themes for my speaking engagements:
- Effectively communicate your research, making it accessible to a wider audience, including your potential funders and other scientific collaborators
- Expand your international network, identify and connect with peers in your field, extend your research community, and foster international collaborations
- Set up automated systems to keep you updated with the latest in your research area, without being distracted by all the noise
- Develop techniques to extend your reach and position yourself in your research field
- Empower scientists to effectively use platforms like LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky and Mastodon to promote their research and careers.
My presentations are customized for your specific event.
Keynote speech: ‘How to help researchers (and help science!) on social media’ at the EUPRIO conference in Vienna 2023.
I highlight the key issues, and actively involve the audience
Panel moderator:
As a proven and experienced moderator, I make sure that the key issues are debated, that the audiences are involved, and that the arguments are spelt out.
I ensure that panel discussions are engaging, informative, and inclusive.

Launch event for our new book 'Social Media for Research Impact' will be 19 February in Copenhagen. Everyone is welcome!
There is something quietly subversive about unfolding an idea step by step. I asked Tony Breu, who helped shape tweetorials as a genre, what it is that still makes them special.
How a glaciology paper got pulled into the climate wars — and what you can learn from research that went viral for all the wrong reasons
PhD course at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences in Copenhagen. It is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except CBS) and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries!
Forget viral content. Here is a quiet social platform where researcher impact comes from verified observations and open science
When researchers migrated from X to Bluesky, the hope was for a quieter space. They wanted less outrage, and more science. But reality is biting back. So here are a few tips to avoid the politics anyway.
A new paper argues that small, voluntary acts of kindness can ripple through communities, improving mental health. What might this mean for researchers on social media?
A few reflections on how co-writing a book has been a powerful experience for me.
