Description:
In a world where all types of information are available online, science and its outreach also needs to expand. Content creation has become an important aspect of science communication and IAGA scientists are playing a major role in it. IAGA is one of the associations under IUGG which promotes the work of Earth and space scientists studying the magnetic and electrical properties of planets, interplanetary bodies, the Sun and their different phenomena. An outcome of the last IUGG meeting in 2019 was the formation of a dedicated IAGA social media working group to provide an easily accessible platform and an online community for IAGA members; to bridge the gap between scientists and the general public; to increase awareness of the varied work of IAGA; and to promote the work of early career researchers (ECRs) and under-represented groups in IAGA. This abstract covers an overview of the work undertaken by this working group and content shared on our many different social media platforms - Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and a blog. The blog posts cover a range of topics including PhD stories on academic life, updates from the community, and historical information. On our other platforms, we share our blog as well as job opportunities, upcoming conferences, workshops, outreach opportunities, new publications, and videos covering the work of IAGA. We hope to attract other members to the group by describing the idea behind our content creation and in turn take ideas from the community to improve our reach.
