About the bookWhether we want to improve education or cut crime, to enhance public health or to generate clean energy, science is critical. Yet politics and public life too often occupy a science-free zone.
Ever wondered why people self-disclose on social media? Great paper by Harvard University showing that we get pleasure from it - like when eating or having sex. I wrote a blog about it yesterday - heres the blog and there is a link to the research paper in there too.
Why People Post their Innermost Thoughts on Social Media | The Science of Social MediaUnderstanding why people participate and share via social media has been a hot topic in academic circles for a while. There is quite a large literature stream dedicated to the subject – later in the blog we look at a recent study by Harvard Universit...

Done and dusted Jillian. I must've missed this first time.
Thanks kindly!
I don't often post content from my own blog on KILTR but as this is a guest post... I'm running a new initative to showcase more academic based social media research (there are more researchers than me out there!) Please welcome Siobhan McGinty and her research on 'Brand Innovation Through Social Networks'. Siobhan is also a group member, do stop by her profile and say hello!
Brand Innovation Through Social Networks | Social Media Research, Strategy, Consultancy and TrainingI would like to introduce a new initiative on my blog, to showcase other social media researchers, their interests and their work. Did you know that only 25% of academic work is reported in newspapers and magazines… Being the researcher that I am I h...

Temples of the lost art | Herald ScotlandEARLIER this year I caught the train to Aberdeen to go to the library.
I think, as Teddy says, "Students don't have offices. They are nomads. They've got their dorm or a room at home, but if they're going to study and work, the library is the physical space where they come to do that."
Libraries have to change, have to reflect the changing society but they also have to remain the same - books are artifacts, artifacts with content that can also be expressed in digital format for ease-of-use, cost & distribution but should also be available in … a tangible format to express the intangibles - like touch, smell, ownership, etc - that make life more interesting. Now, in a 'book' recession, is the time to acquire collections and move them to 'libraries' where they can be secure, cared for, digitised & made accessible to the public.More
Why have I just found this now?! If anyone is writing any kind of lengthy document it might be an idea to try this out...

Thanks for posting this. I remember when it first came out (version 1) and I was wary of wasting my time, but this version sounds very good.
I know I sometimes complain about living in the middle of nowhere but I have to say I enjoy all the little events that go on. Last week was a festival at Comlongon Castle and this week its the Moniaive folk festival... Its always a good laugh - If your around the Dumfries way then it will be worth checking out!
Folk Festival Artists 2012 | MoniaiveAndy Irvine is one of the great Irish singers, his voice one of a handful of truly great ones that gets to the very soul of Ireland. He has been hailed as "a tradition in himself." Musician, singer and songwriter, Andy has maintained his highly indiv...
Jillian Ney. Your and You're... schoolboy error! Sorry folks...
Guga tasting in museum festivalA chance to sample guga - a delicacy on the Western Isles - will be offered during Scotland's Festival of Museums.
Never knew this was running... If anyone is around Dumfries and Galloway this week you might want to check some of this out - D&G Science Festival
Without looking... What makes a good Tweet?! New article from this months Harvard Business Review...
I love the fact that is say 25% of Tweets are not worth reading! Although I thought it would be a bit higher than that!
Storing journal articles again... You might find it interesting though. 'A Study of Self-Presentation in Light of Facebook'
Thanks for this very interesting inclusion of a most interesting subject. What I find of most interest in reading it so far is that it was written in 2007, which now seems so long ago, when it comes to Facebook.
It was probably written a little before that, you know what its like trying to publish academic papers - it takes ages! It does seem like a long time ago now but the topic is on track for that time. Its funny reading the literature in this area and the themes that come through!
Just found this in my thesis...
'Lurking and insider [posting] behaviours were examined and the study found that lurking behaviours contributed to brand loyalty more than posting did' (Shang, Chen and Liao, 2006).
…
So the people who don't engage seem to be more brand loyal than those who do?!
What is everyone's thoughts on this? I found it quite interesting, clearly I've read the paper but I can't remember it... off to refresh my memory.More
What a horrible Friday... Got my work back from the proofreader and I've 381 pages of small grammar edits to make... I. Want. To. Die. Anyone got a funny story to cheer me up?!
Scottish Humour - Gaun yersel! = Laff.. - Group Profile | KILTRToo true, when you need a job done properly and with a bit of humour and pizazz, get a Scotsman - 'S sgionneil!
What phase of your thesis/dissertation are you in? I'm afraid this is normal. :-( This is stage one of rewrite/editing, the part where you want to tear all your hair out. Persevere. It will get better. I was rewriting/editing up until the final moments of the final deadline; it was expected. And my diss is in English rhetoric and composition, so they were BEYOND finicky, but so have been all my print clients!! You'll make it. :-))
Thanks guys. It gets sent to the printer on Monday. It's over (well depending on defence) after this. Just stupid grammar mistakes - how many commas have I missed?! So annoying. It's almost over thought :)
Realistically, look at it this way: it is very hard/impossible to see the details of the trees for the forest you've been growing. This is why one gets an editor for one's thesis. :-)
You feel slightly stupid when you see all the silly mistakes! I'm glad they have been caught.
I've been developing a guest lecture for Strathclyde University about Millennials... I've been trying to find some engaging content and came across this quiz..
My millennial score is 84... What's yours?
PewResearch Center Numbers, facts and trends shaping your world
uh-oh. It's a 37 for me! As it should be though according to the graph at the end.
96 for me.
96 Michael?! Oooft, get you.. Bjorn you're not too far behind! I thought I was doing well with 84. Scott, I'm surprised. Right who's beating Michael?!
I'm 80...betraying my Gen X cohort....The mobile phone and telephone line question is a bit of a wrong'un. To be millennial you probably have ye broadband but to have that you usually need a fixed line too.
a 95 for me... it's more likely to have mobile broadband than a fixed line a lot of the time.
Great stuff - anyone else?
85!
Thanks for this, Jillian. My team is in the process of pulling together a workshop on Millenials in the workplace as well and I have included a link to the intro video below. I will be happy to share more as we continue to develop this offering. Cheers!
Thanks Bryan! I'll get my lecture up too but it's likely to be a long one at 3.5 hours... Thanks for sharing!
97 (must be the piercing!) :)
My students done this yesterday - was amazed at some of the low scores! Was going to post a blog about it later... Need to find some time first!
Made it out of the Baby Boomers & past the Gen Xers but dropped out shortly after! Damn! 41/100...
I was surprised with 74/100, I must do alot more than I thought! ;O)
