DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the nature of public engagement has been shi
 fting. Alongside well-established means of engaging the public\, new media
  technologies have opened up an enormous range of options for communicatin
 g far beyond the physical limits of the university. Successful blogs can b
 e used to share ideas with a wide public and to tell the ongoing story of 
 your research in a less formal way than through traditional research paper
 s. Social media can also be a powerful method of establishing professional
  contacts\, communicating and collaborating with the public\, and consulti
 ng with partners whom you can’t always reach directly\, in person.\n\nTh
 e lecture will include advice and experience from Cambridge academics who 
 have made successful use of blogs and social media\, including Dr Andrew H
 olding from *Skeptics in the Pub*. There will also be practical ‘how to
 ’ guidance on getting your own blog or social network started\, and we w
 ill end with a Q&A.\n\nBooking is essential. "Please click here.":http://w
