11 ways to make your social media presence reflect the best of what science can be<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Let’s make kindness the new norm on social media!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Extract from ‘The School of Athens’ (1509-11) by Raphael<\/p><\/div>\n

By consciously cultivating a culture of kindness in our online interactions, we actively maintain a social media space around us where ideas are shared, critiques are constructive, and connections are genuine in the scientific community.<\/p>\n

It is not just about being polite \u2013 it\u2019s about setting off a positive chain reaction, and ultimately helping the advancement of science.<\/p>\n

By treating other scientists on social media with kindness, we can better foster innovation, ideation, and intellectual growth in the academic community.<\/p>\n

I recently committed Mike Young Academy to the Excellence and Kindness in Research Initiative (ELIS)<\/a><\/em>, and this inspired me to set up examples of kind scientist interactions. Have I forgotten any ways to be kind on social media as a scientist? Let me know in the comments, and I will iterate this list as we go along!<\/p>\n

Be a force for the good!<\/p>\n

The 11 kind habits<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n


\n1. Post with gratitude<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sharing your findings is not just about boosting your h-index. It\u2019s about contributing to the scientific community. Your research builds on the work of countless others, and in turn, your findings might serve as the foundation for future discoveries. When you share your work, you are paying forward the generosity of those who came before you.<\/p>\n

\"\"Example: <\/strong>Publicly thank a mentor or collaborator for their support on a project on LinkedIn: \u2018Couldn\u2019t have completed this without the guidance of @MentorName \u2014 your insights were invaluable!\u2019
\nAlso: Always remember to acknowledge by tagging with \u2018@\u2019 the producers of texts, graphics and photos that you share.<\/p>\n

2. Offer as many details \u2014 as you can<\/span><\/h3>\n

Share as much of your doubts about data and methods as you can on social media. You might worry that this openness could expose you to criticism or that someone might \u2018scoop\u2019 your work. And sometimes there may be other reasons to not share data or methods before publication. We all need space for reflection and feedback from a smaller group before we are willing to share our research. But often the caveats and fears are unfounded. When you share your ongoing concerns, you invite collaboration, encourage replication, and help others to build on your work.<\/p>\n

\"\"Example: <\/strong>In your social media update, link to a blog post where you openly summarize and discuss any challenges or uncertainties you faced during your research. For example, \u2018During our study on Y, we encountered some unexpected results that we\u2019re still trying to understand. We initially hypothesized A, but our data suggested something different. If anyone has insights or has faced similar issues, I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n

3. Amplify others\u2019 work<\/span><\/h3>\n

Social media platforms can elevate the impact of others, particularly those who may not have the same reach or recognition as yourself. It might seem counterintuitive to promote others when you are striving for your own recognition within a given field.\u00a0 But when you retweet a colleague\u2019s paper, even a colleague who is doing \u2018competing\u2019 work close to your own field, you are contributing to a more inclusive and supportive scientific community.<\/p>\n

\"\"Example: <\/strong>Repost a colleague\u2019s publication announcement on X with a comment like, \u2018Don\u2019t miss this important paper on B by @ColleagueName \u2014 great contribution to our understanding of C!\u2019<\/p>\n

4. Share your failures<\/span><\/h3>\n

Share the challenges, the failed experiments, the rejections. This doesn\u2019t mean wallowing in negativity, but rather providing a balanced view of what it means to be a scientist. Your authenticity can help demystify the process for others, particularly for early-career scientists who might feel isolated in their struggles.<\/p>\n

The University of Graz in Austria even goes as far as to encourage an error-friendly research culture with its Forum of Failures and Fiascos Repository<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Example:\u00a0 <\/strong>Post about a failed experiment or rejected grant on LinkedIn, sharing what you learned from the experience. For example, \u2018While this grant didn\u2019t go through, the feedback was invaluable and has strengthened my future proposals. Happy to discuss if anyone\u2019s interested in what I learned.\u2019<\/p>\n

You can even share it without saying what you learned from the experience. In many ways, this can be better, as it does not presume that your failure is actually a \u2018success\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018I just received word that my grant application for [project] wasn\u2019t successful. I will get over it, but right now it\u2019s a tough pill to swallow.\u2019<\/p>\n

5. Give constructive feedback<\/span><\/h3>\n

When a colleague shares a link to their research, your first inclination is to \u2018like\u2019 it, because you want to show your appreciation and help your colleague’s post do well with the algorithms. This is fine. But this is also the point to provide \"\"specific, constructive comments that promote further reflection \u2014 also among others who see your colleague’s post.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong> Reply below an X post (tweet): \u2018This is a fascinating approach to A. Have you considered how B might influence your results? I\u2019d love to discuss this further.\u2019<\/p>\n

6: Connect other<\/em> people (for their sake, not yours!)<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a field as competitive as academia, it can feel hard to have the energy to promote others when you are also striving for your own recognition.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just about you. When you retweet a colleague\u2019s paper, highlight an early-career researcher\u2019s achievement, or share a thoughtful thread from a lesser-known scientist, you are contributing to a more inclusive and supportive scientific community.<\/p>\n

\n

Your goal should be to enable new thought, not to \u2018win\u2019 an argument.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By introducing your connections to others who might benefit from knowing each other. It should create value for both parties. Maybe there is a job offer, a research collaboration opportunity, or a course that you think another person should be aware of. Maybe they just share a common interest.<\/p>\n

\"\"Example: <\/strong>Write a direct LinkedIn message to A: \u00a0\u2018Hey A, I came across this job opening for a pharmaceutical scientist at [Company Name]. It seems like a great fit, especially with your experience with [specific skill or project]. You\u2019d be a strong candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alternatively, introduce two people in your network who might benefit from knowing each other: \u201c@Person1, meet @Person2\u2014both of you are doing fantastic work on F and might find some great synergies!\u2019<\/p>\n

7. Respond thoughtfully<\/span><\/h3>\n

It can be tempting to react immediately to a post, particularly if it challenges your views or position, or if you perceive it as an encroachment upon your own status in a field.<\/p>\n

\"\"But you should take a moment to think before you respond. Is your comment adding value to the conversation? Are you respecting the original poster\u2019s perspective, even if you disagree? A rushed or poorly considered reply can discourage someone from sharing their ideas in the future.<\/p>\n

Resist the urge to dominate the conversation. Your goal should be to enable new thought, not to \u2018win\u2019 an argument. This approach is not only kinder but contributes to a healthier, more productive, and more intellectually stimulating scientific discourse.<\/p>\n

This ties in well with the thoughts expressed by Venkatesh Rao, an Indian-American author and consultant who\u00a0referred to social media, as the \u2018global computer in the cloud\u2019<\/a>. There is something noble, something human, and something productive on it. But to participate in it, you have to be willing to stop using it strategically to communicate a message that has already been prepared.<\/p>\n

\n

Respect your audience\u2019s intelligence and engage in real dialogue, even if you suspect (inside!) that your audience will find it difficult to grasp<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Social media platforms amplify those with the \u2018loudest\u2019 voices so they dominate newsfeeds. Make a conscious effort to listen to those softer voices who are either not represented at all, or who are drowned out by all the heavy hitters. This isn\u2019t just a nice thing to do \u2014 it\u2019s an ethical responsibility.<\/p>\n

Example: <\/strong>Set up a bookmarked LinkedIn search with keywords related to your field, such as \u2018neuroscience research\u2019 or \u2018supercritical fluids\u2019, and filter for your location, or for your university. This search will act as an alternative newsfeed, bringing up posts and discussions from your own institution from early career scientists that are not in your own network and that have not been fed to you by the LinkedIn algorithm. Regularly thoughtfully comment on the posts that are valuable, but that have not set off long discussions.<\/p>\n

\"\"8. Promote reflection and slowness<\/span><\/h3>\n

The urgency of the new on social media creates a sense of vertigo and stress on the platforms used by scientists: If you don\u2019t follow your field on a day-by-day basis you are somehow \u2018behind\u2019.<\/p>\n

Fight this focus on the new. By having a routine to repost older, yet still relevant, content from your network you can push back against the underlying premise of social media in science: That it is only the place for the \u2018latest\u2019.<\/p>\n

Deliberately repost posts from your network that are NOT the latest showing up on your feed. This could be something that is still relevant, but that was posted a year ago.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong>\u00a0Set up a throwback science routine, perhaps weekly or monthly, where you resurface valuable older posts from others. Give it a name like \u2018Throwback Science\u2019 or \u2018Timeless Insights\u2019. Credit the original poster, and express appreciation for their contribution in the post. \u00a0You can ask open-ended questions like, \u2018How have your views on Z evolved since this was originally posted?\u2019<\/p>\n

9. Assume good intent<\/span><\/h3>\n

By assuming that others are engaging in good faith, scientists can foster a more constructive and respectful dialogue. This is particularly relevant in science because discussions often involve complex, nuanced topics where misunderstandings can easily arise.<\/p>\n

Example: <\/strong>Someone posted about your paper on Bluesky: \u2018Interesting paper on climate modeling, but I think the authors overlooked some key variables in their analysis.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"Here is an example of a response under this post that is not assuming good intent: \u2018<\/em>Clearly, you didn\u2019t read the methodology section properly. The variables you\u2019re talking about were accounted for.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n

Never, ever, using the word \u2018groundbreaking\u2019 in any post that is not about digging holes in the ground!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And here is an example of a response assuming good intent:<\/em> \u2018Thanks for pointing that out! It\u2019s a complex area \u2014 could you elaborate on which variables you think were missed? I\u2019d love to understand your perspective.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"10. Trust that other people are bright people<\/span><\/h3>\n

Respect your audience\u2019s intelligence and engage in real dialogue, even if you suspect (inside!) that your audience will find it difficult to grasp:<\/p>\n

Example: <\/strong>When responding to questions or comments, approach them as an opportunity for dialogue rather than a one-way teaching moment. Instead of correcting someone bluntly, say, ‘That\u2019s an interesting point. Have you considered how Y might influence Z?’ This opens up a conversation rather than shutting it down.<\/p>\n

11. Be sincere<\/span><\/h3>\n
\"\"

Literally ‘groundbreaking’ (and AI-generated by Dall E)<\/p><\/div>\n

This means no clickbait. No sexing up. And it means never, ever, using the word \u2018groundbreaking\u2019 in any post that is not about digging holes in the ground!<\/p>\n

Example: <\/strong>Write a thread on X with all the caveats: \u2018This new paper on E has some interesting findings, but keep in mind the small sample size. Worth discussing!\u2019<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s it! Have I forgotten any practical ways in which you can be kind on social media as a scientist? Feel free to write them in the comments.<\/p>\n
