Academics and universities are still wrong about social media ⬇️
Mike Young@mkeyoung.bsky.social · 6mo agoAcademics and universities are still wrong about social media. My co-author @bogers.bsky.social and I argue in University World News @uniworldnews.bsky.social that most of the dominant negative social media narrative in academia is wrong! / THREAD www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?sto...
What is the biggest misconception that researchers have about using social media professionally? It is that social media is something you only do to disseminate your research AFTER it's done. 'Social Media for Research Impact' with @bogers.bsky.social
Where would you take students to start a course on open innovation? In Eindhoven, the Philips Stadium makes surprising sense: PSV’s strategy connects people, organization and the Brainport ecosystem—and combines competition with openness. A rather good first classroom.

Telling people that I spent last Thursday evening in a cellar full of hooks and cool people has led to some follow‑up questions I hadn’t anticipated… 👀 Such a useful book! Happy to be there to celebrate the launch.
Mike Young@mkeyoung.bsky.social · 7mo agoOfficial launch of #SocialMediaforResearchImpact with @bogers.bsky.social yesterday! Thanks to everyone who showed up and made this a special day for us, including @courtneyherms.bsky.social , Malene David Juul Jensen and Raluca Stana. @routledgebooks.bsky.social
What if universities help address global challenges through ecosystem orchestration? Our new invited article in Research-Technology Management explores the idea of the Fourth Generation University, which is part of our broader research agenda and aligned with the new institutional plan at @tue.nl.

🎉 Launch day! Our book #SocialMediaForResearchImpact is officially out. Back in the early 2010s, I started sharing research on Twitter. That simple practice made me a "hub" in my network—and led to meeting my co-author Mike Young @mkeyoung.bsky.social through social media itself. (1/3)

I’ve been circling around this box from @routledgebooks.bsky.social for days. I was nervous about opening it. It was, after all, the end result of a full year of thinking, writing, and rethinking. It is a book about using social media slowly. So I approached it … slowly 🙂
Handing over the first copy of Social Media for Research Impact to the Rector of Eindhoven University of Technology. A small symbolic step — not about one university, but about opening up research so ideas can travel, connect, and matter. #SocialMediaForResearchImpact @tue.nl @mkeyoung.bsky.social

If you use social media for research impact, how do you define success? For example, are you most interested in sharing findings with colleagues/the world, attracting readers, discussing work, getting media coverage, securing a TED talk invite or something else? Do you have specific goals? 🧪
Marcel Bogers@bogers.bsky.social · 12mo agoIt was a great pleasure to present our forthcoming book "Social Media for Research Impact: How scholars can share ideas, build networks, and make a difference" (with Mike Young @mkeyoung.bsky.social) during a seminar at FGV EAEAP @fgvoficial.bsky.social in São Paulo, Brazil.
I just published my first blog post. I thought it would be fitting to start by writing about my very first academic publication. What began as a background review turned into a research journey. Read here: www.marcelbogers.com/blog/2734993...
