In a first for From PhD to Life, I’ve got a non-Q&A guest contributor! Thanks to Carleton University’s Leah DeVellis for this advice column on the benefits of social media for graduate students, postdocs, and academics in transition to work beyond the tenure track. Leah notes five reasons why social media can be useful and important: 1) connecting with others, 2) making research accessible, 3) publicizing your work, 4) positioning yourself as an expert, and 5) seeking out alternative and post-academic career options.

A bit late for me perhaps, but sound advice nonetheless.
