About event
Increasingly, social media platforms, notably Twitter, are used as channels by which researchers communicate directly with not just other researchers, but the general public too. Twitter can provide great opportunities for researchers, regardless of their seniority within their respective fields or institution, to keep up- to-date with emerging methodologies as well as foster new and exciting collaborations. For these reasons, this practical workshop will equip researchers with the know-how and understanding allowing them to get the most out of Twitter and other social media platforms. This workshop will cover how to create an effective Twitter profile, how to create engaging tweets, and tips on how to build your network.
More information
Daniel S. Quintana is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo. He leads a lab investigating biological systems that link psychological and social factors to health, with a focus on neuroendocrine systems (e.g., oxytocin) and the autonomic nervous system. His lab uses various research approaches, including intranasal oxytocin trials, large-scale genetics studies, neuroimaging, and the collection of autonomic nervous system data (e.g., heart rate variability).
Daniel is the Principal Investigator of externally-funded projects investigating the role of the oxytocin system in mental traits and physical health (Research Council of Norway), the role of oxytocin in behavioral flexibility (Research Council of Norway), and an oxytocin treatment trial to improve social skills and behavioral flexibility in youth with autism (Kavli Trust). In December 2022 he will begin a project uncovering the role of oxytocin in neural plasticity and learning in autism (South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority).
