This episode of The Social Academic Podcast is about games and entrepreneurship for scientists and researchers. The idea for The Publish or Perish Game was sparked at Stanford.

When Max reached out to introduce the game to me, I shared, "my professor client played with her research lab! She loved it." And of course, I asked if he'd come on the show to talk about it.In this episode0:00 Meet Max Bai, PhD5:40 Launching The Publish or Perish Game on Kickstarter10:15 What do academics love about the game?

Social Media for Research Labs with Jennifer van Alstyne
Let's talk about social media for research labs and research groups. Hi, I'm Jennifer van Alstyne. Since 2018 I've been helping professors and researchers be intentional with their online presence. I'm about to go into a day of strategy and social media support for a research lab.I said, "I have a bunch of advice / recommendations I'd love to share with you that aren't specific to your lab. Would it be okay if I make a public video to answer some FAQs? I think it could help more people." The lab director said yes!Here's the questions I answer in this video:-What’s the difference between my own professional account/page vs my lab account/page? (versus my personal account/page)-What social media platform should I even be on?-How much time should I be spending on my lab social media? Or social media in general?-What types of content should my lab do on social media? (e.g. carousels, text only posts, videos, photos, and graphics)-What types of content should my lab do on social media? (Topics / What should I post about?)-Is it okay to share about our research in preliminary stages? Or, should we wait for the publication to be out?-How do I connect with people on social media?-It feels like no one is seeing my post - what do I do?-How do we know if our social media efforts are actually working? What metrics should a lab actually care about?-Who should be involved in the social media for my lab?-Can my lab member or student manage my social media?-Do I need a social media manager or an outside support?-What happens to our lab's social media accounts when the student managing them graduates or leaves the university?-How can I get my lab excited about our social media? And their own social media?-My students are anxious about social media and doing something wrong. What can I tell them?-What training should my lab have on social media?-What will my university think about my social media?-Can we use our lab’s social media to actively recruit new graduate students, postdocs, or research participants?-What does my university not want me to do on social media? There might be university or institutional level policies. Or department specific policies (ex: live animals, IRBs, etc.)-Should I get permission before sharing photos?-How do we handle public criticism, trolls, or controversial comments on our lab's posts?-What are some things to avoid for my social media as a lab?Hi there, I'm Jennifer van Alstyne.

This is part of the series featuring winners of the Best Personal Academic Websites Contest 2025 to share their website journey.Dr. Ana Rebeka Kamšek is a Materials Science researcher in Slovenia. She hadn't always dreamed of making a website. She worried before she started creating it that she didn't have enough content to put there. Rebeka chose Github because she was already using it as a repository for coding for her research. While she knew there were other options for where to host her website out there, coding was a skill she knew and was open to learning more about for the design of your academic website.Ooh at the end of our chat we get into talking about how Rebeka has approached getting photos of herself during talks and outreach events. She has super valuable advice to share about what works well for her.
