Get your research expertise out there - my recent interview
Yesterday I was interviewed by the Korean Broadcasting System (the BBC equivalent) about Teesside's transition to net zero.
[This wouldn't be possible if I only published papers!]
If you want to accelerate your academic career, try doing these in addition to publishing your research.
1. Seek external engagement:
Publishing academic papers is vital, but stepping outside the academic circles will amplify your impact. Collaborating with media outlets and professional bodies can help showcase your expertise and research to a broader audience.
2. Build an expert brand:
Visibility is key. Share your insights on various platforms (i.e. conferences, podcasts, or documentaries). This not only enhances your reputation but also helps position you as a thought leader in your field.
3. Engage with the community:
Connect with peers and practitioners outside your usual circles. Networking and sharing your research with those who can benefit from it fosters innovation and collaboration.
I apply ALL of this to my life and there is not a single day I am not grateful for keeping my focus on the things that are most important.
How do you plan to take your research beyond the academic circles?
