He has stopped talking to us and has also started to stay alone. I spoke to my friend about this, and she suggested me to read your blog and one more blog on https://www.thesisclinic.co.uk/blog. I think I can help him with his PhD. Now, I can guide him on how he can manage his PhD and personal life.

With such an active social media platform one can actually get feedback and suggestions for their work and hence proves beneficial for oneself.

This sounds like an interesting platform and I would be keen to learn more about it. <br /><br />I agree, I don't think crowdfunding is the one answer but I think it's a very interesting and useful tool.

We support crowdfunding of all kinds of scientific research, as well as general STEM, citizen science, education, and conservation projects. Our goal is to bring citizens and scientists together to build knowledge openly and democratically, but we believe crowdfunding isn't the sole solution to today's disconnect between science and citizens. To further our cause, we've built a special kind of social network for both citizens and scientists to engage with each other on a more permanent basis than the once-off encounters of crowdfunding. With these tools combined, we're super excited about the possibilities.

Each researcher's aims, goals, etc may be different, which is why it's important to avoid single number indicators (Klout scores, h-indices, etc) that tend to only measure a single type of impact.<br /><br />I work for Impactstory, which is a non-profit aimed at helping researchers find and measure their success online. Our goal is to provide many types of data on how research outputs (including articles, software, etc) are used both by other researchers and the public, with no assumptions about what is the most important type of impact. Because as you point out, each researcher's individual aims may be different.<br /><br />And qualitative data is very important, too. Using all relevant data that's available, rather than cherry-picked vanity metrics that might not tell a useful story, is essential to creating a nuanced understanding of the important outreach work you might be doing as a researcher.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865139046188866311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034888015247889941.post-92043919932405701602014-09-02T04:46:52.647-07:002014-09-02T04:46:52.647-07:00Hi, Pocket is different because its whole purpose ...Hi, Pocket is different because its whole purpose is just to save web links to read later on whatever mobile device or computer you happen to be on, and easily archive and search them.

I love having different tabs for each account, each tab including #searches, lists as well as home feeds, mentions and retweets. Tweedle on my phone which I think is so much better than the standard Twitter app; I'm on Android so I'm not sure if it's available for iGadgets.<br /><br />Feedly to keep on top of blogs, I thought it was the best alternative after Google Reader was retired and I was able to migrate all my blogs across from Google. Blogspot for blogging (though not about science); unfortunately the Blogger app for Android is rubbish (stupidly - maybe the iGadget one is better), so I usually write blogposts in Drive so I can edit them wherever I am. So I use Drive and Dropbox like a boss; I'm finding the public folder in Dropbox very useful for sharing pdfs of publications/recruitment adverts to twitter.<br /><br />I also use Evernote, but I've only just started to use it so I probably haven't found it's full potential yet. I also have the Clip extension for Chrome and found it very useful. I used Google Keep for a bit, but it's very basic and only have text lists in it. I quite like the idea of Trello though, I may have a go at that, I see I can login with Google - even better.<br /><br />I use Facebook personally, but not very much, I much prefer Google+; I love that it supports Gifs, #autoawesomes, and I get far more feedback from Blogposts I put there than I do on Facebook. I think of it like Twitter (in that you connect with people who share an interest, rather than friends), but you can say a whole lot more.<br /><br />Anyway, it's about time I shut up and did some work!filmrrusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242906606942840491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034888015247889941.post-12746229025059466842014-08-19T13:28:29.212-07:002014-08-19T13:28:29.212-07:00I am just about to start my PhD at UCL so this is ...I am just about to start my PhD at UCL so this is a super helpful post to find.

The IOS app is very nice, and there is also a Mac version too that all syncs seemlessly. The Chrome extension is brilliant. <br /><br />Another favorite is the note app "Notational Velocity". It is like a simpler evernote - just text notes, sync between mac Notional Velocity and iOS app called Simplenote. Great search that is fast and accurate. I put things there like lab information (cell plating densities, volumes for drugs, a quick to-do-list/brain dump...or personal things, like Call XYZ person (phone number), links for blog posts....<br /><br />And finally, I manage my social media using buffer. Schedule tweets/re-tweets for the next day or week even at 2am when none of my followers are actually reading. Many of the iOS apps I use integrate well with buffer including pocket (mentioned above) and feedly (my RSS reader of choice).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034888015247889941.post-66048804762624967402014-05-13T22:09:16.748-07:002014-05-13T22:09:16.748-07:00Thanks so much for sharing!
