Using Social Media for Public Engagement in academia
Tom will share some of his top tips on how to use social media for public engagement as an academic – including what he has learned through his own experience over the past 5 years with @tomrocksmaths.

Dr Tom Crawford teaches Maths at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, as well as running the award-winning ‘Tom Rocks Maths’ outreach programme. With over 25 million views on YouTube, it’s likely you’ve seen him taking a high school maths exam with no preparation, or talking all things fluid dynamics on Numberphile.
