I normally put my Twitter @ on my posters at conferences so I can connect with people I meet, or if someone wants to get in touch about my poster later they have an easy, relatively informal way to do so instead of email. Is anyone else considering putting their Mastodon handle on their conference posters?
As I do some last-minute work on my poster for Society for Neuroscience next week, I'm considering putting this with my email address. How about y'all?
@Neekerbreeker I would love to see people get inspired like that! :) I have the pleasure of doing two poster sessions this year (one diversity program-specific, one sensory/pain topic-specific) so I will encourage people at both sessions to do the same if it comes up.
@Britt Definitely.
@Britt it would be a conversation starter for sure.
@arinbasu thank you!
@Britt I'd include it! I think social media needs more participation from scientists. Surprisingly few of my colleagues are on anything besides Twitter. Seeing Mastodon on your poster may get a few more people interested in trying this platform!
