In the process of writing my topic 3 blog<\/a>, about creating professional online profiles, I tweeted some of my ideas as I was incorporating them into my work. I hoped to find some solid evidence to back up the ideas of how we\u00a0retain and remember different information which Simon Morice suggested, in the video work shop we had, in order to make the point in my blog that variety in professional profiles makes\u00a0them more effective and engaging.<\/p>\n

I was pleased to find a really good image on the topic posted by what I\u00a0see as\u00a0a fairly reputable science page on Facebook, IFLS<\/a>. The creator is Elise Andrew, she has a BSc in biology and is a great example of someone who has used social media massively to her advantage so can be seen as a role model from a UOSM2008 perspective.\u00a0She also\u00a0does public speaking, has featured on TV for the success of her page making science more accessible and creates TV shows herself. I found this interview<\/a> with her in which she says:<\/p>\n

‘People see me as an authority and I’m so not. People say: ‘I never believe anything unless it’s on IFLS’, and I’m like: Don’t think like that, my God, check everything I say!’<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the reasons I have thought her to be quite\u00a0reputable is because she makes the material appropriate for the platform (Facebook) but includes a link to the original source\/ research of the content for people to draw their own conclusions too. I noticed the lack of original reference on this occasion; the reference was just another Facebook science page, which referred another after that. After chasing links through a few Facebook groups (I f*ckinglovescience->asapscience->neuronswantfood) I reached a web page\u00a0\u00a0by brainbox.co.uk <\/a>\u00a0which stated William Glasser, a psychiatrist, as the source of the idea. I read about his work online and it seemed realistic this was his idea as it was similar to other work he had done. I couldn’t find the specific paper relating to the diagram but decided to post my tweet with what I had as I had spent a while researching it.<\/p>\n
