Supports for Activities
Thank you for answering my questions on your social media presence. I
can see you’re greatly engaged with (INSERT THEIR FREE TEXT HERE). I’d
like to ask you some questions about the organization, (INSERT
ORGANIZATION NAME HERE), which you are a part of.
In your role, do you feel like you are part of a bigger organization? If
so, how? If not, why not?
- Of the organizations that you work with, at which level are you
involved with them? Local/Regional/National/International?
Tell me about some of the organizations with which you are most
involved?
Are there ones that you feel you are the most invested in, up to 3?
Tell me the story of how you got involved.
Is there an experience you’ve had that was vastly different than the
experiences you just mentioned?
What motivates you to stay involved in this organization today? What
keeps you doing what you’re doing?
Some people have found that increased networking has given them
opportunities that they otherwise won’t have. Can you resonate?
The Kardashian index is the ratio of followers to contributions, where a
higher number; a disproportionate twitter following compared to your
scientific contributions (indicated by number of citations) makes for a
“Science Kardashian” . What do you think of this concept? Where would
you rank yourself on this index out of 5?
Some people within their local institution think that there are some
barriers to harnessing social media. These can take the form of
copyright/intellectual property. Is this something you’ve noticed? Did
this happen with your experiences outside your institution?
Describe a time where something has gone wrong in your organization.
- How did you/your team deal with it, and do you think you/your team
could have done something differently?
If you could change something about the way your organization supports
you, what would it be?
What about your <INSERT SELECTED ROLE> role? What
supports you in that role?
