I've collected a few starting points (below) but would love to hear from anyone who has their own account! I know TikTok is super popular so any advice on that, in particular, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Have you looked through PF's Facebook page? That will give you an idea about how Greg uses social media to post Physics content and also at the same time promote PF.

I guess I mean more like social media that'll reach young people. So, for the purpose of outreach for example. Are there any particular formats for TikTok videos that are very engaging, or types of images that people want to see? Etc.

2. What type of content should I post on my physics social media accounts?

When creating physics social media content, it's important to strike a balance between educational and entertaining. You can post about interesting experiments, current research, or even fun facts about physics. Just make sure to keep your content accurate and relevant to your audience.

3. How often should I post on my physics social media accounts?

Consistency is key when it comes to social media. It's important to have a regular posting schedule, whether it's daily, weekly, or bi-weekly. This will keep your audience engaged and help you build a following. However, make sure not to sacrifice quality for quantity.

4. How can I reach a wider audience with my physics social media content?

One way to reach a wider audience is by using hashtags related to physics or science in your posts. This will make your content more discoverable to people who are interested in those topics. You can also collaborate with other science communicators or share your content on relevant social media groups or forums.

5. How can I make my physics social media content accessible to a non-scientific audience?

When creating physics content for social media, it's important to avoid using jargon and technical terms. Instead, try to use simple language and everyday examples to explain complex concepts. You can also provide links to additional resources for those who want to learn more about the topic.
