Social Media for Scientists: #Tweetyourscience
Wednesday November 14, 1:00-3:30pm
204 Loomis
Social media presence is increasingly important as one of the ways in which scientists can reach broader audiences. Whether you are a newbie on Twitter or a frequent user looking to increase your reach to different audiences, this workshop will have something for you. Students, postdocs, faculty, and staff are all welcome. Mike Firmand of the Graduate College will spend the first hour on the topic of creating an effective online presence, followed by a panel with peer scientists from campus who have garnered a strong Twitter following to share their experience. We will conclude with breakout activities to put to practice different aspects of Twitter engagement. Attendance is free but please register so that we can plan for refreshments.
Please register here by November 12 if possible: https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/5201052
This event is a joint effort between the Illinois MRSEC, Beckman Institute’s 21st Century Scientists, and the Graduate College.

About Restorative Justice and Restorative Circles:
Restorative Justice is a roughly 40-year international movement consisting of a variety of different restorative practices from all over the world, many of which have indigenous roots. While the specifics vary from practice to practice, at the heart, restorative practices provide an alternative (or additional) approach to the punitive systems that currently dominate most Western mainstream societies’ approach to crime and conflict. Rather than focusing on assigning blame and administering punishment, restorative practices typically bring together the parties involved and impacted by what happened for the purpose of mutual understanding (of what happened and the harm that occurred) and working together to fix the harm and, if appropriate, restore the relationships. Restorative Circles are a specific restorative practice developed in the favelas of Brazil by Dominic Barter and his associates.
About Mikhail Lyubansky:
Mikhail is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois. His work is broadly focused on conflict and restorative responses to conflict in a variety of different contexts, including schools, organizations, and intentional communities. As part of Conflict 180 (co-founded with Elaine Shpungin), he supports schools, organizations, and workplaces in developing restorative strategies for engaging conflict, building conflict facilitation skills and evaluating the outcomes associated with restorative responses.
Logistics: The workshop will be April 20th 2018 from 1-3pm at the Beckman Institute, room 2269. Contact Kate Clancy kclancy@illinois.edu with any questions or to share accommodation needs.
