As a researcher, you need to wear many hats. Not only do you need to know how to effectively carry out experiments and write a compelling research paper, you also need to learn how to market your research so the right people are aware of your contributions to the field. This presentation will discuss ways in which the other “99%” of researchers can raise the visibility of their research. These are tips for every researcher and will provide suggestions on how to use multimedia and social media to promote their work, even if it never makes headlines on CNN.
