Welcome to my 23 Things blog! But what is / are 23 Things? Well, it is a course designed to help students be exposed to many useful tools for academia in the online universe. Each post, or Thing, focuses on one of these tools, though Things 2 & 3 aren't actually anything as they didn't involve any blog posts for the program.

Thing 5: LinkedIn - a professional networking site
This thing is aimed at developing the our LinkedIn pages. Since my last post, I've actually spent quite some time sorting out my page, including adding a profile picture, banner, writing up-to-date descriptions of the work I'm involved in, and making some new connections!
I've found it really useful to make connections with companies I'm hoping to work with in my research, allowing me to see what the're currently up to.
I also modified my my URL, from:
www.linkedin.com/in/jacobpimentarichardson (followed by some crazy number...)
to:
www.linkedin.com/in/jacobpr
...much more appropriate for a business card.
Any way, that's it for this blog post. Many thanks for reading, here's a pretty cool photo of a red squirrel pretending to be a zombie! Photo by Demi-Felicia Vares on Unsplash
