#11 TIKTOK and Science Comunication

<p>While TIKTOK still has a reputation of being a teenage dancing app it has evolved substantially over the last couple of years. In 2020 it surpassed two billion downloads and it also recently surpassed YouTube in viewing time per user. It is high time to look at TIKTOK. In order to learn about TIKTOK, I invited Prof. Andy Miah to the podcast. Andy has a chair in Science Communication and Future Media at Salford University (UK). And he is an avid TIKTOK user. We recorded this session in between other meetings. For this reason, it got shorter than the previous episodes of the podcast. However, this might actually be quite fitting for a social network that actually revolutionized short content.</p> <p>You find Andy pretty much on all social networks. However you could start by checking him out on Twitter (@andymiah) or have a look at his webpage: <a href="https://andymiah.net/">https://andymiah.net/</a></p> <p>---<br> The&nbsp;Science Communication Accelerator Podcast aims to empower &nbsp;&nbsp;scientists, universities, and research organizations to engage publicly &nbsp;&nbsp;and share &nbsp;more science on social media.
