_I love beer. So does Elena Milani (@biomug). When the Italian Neuroscientist and SciComm expert realised that no hashtag yet existed for academic beer-lovers, she set about creating one. This is her call to arms! _
The Internet and social media are plenty of cute fluffy cats, because kittens sell, especially among academics. Everybody knows that!
But what about beer? I love craft beer (and kittens, of course), and in Twitter I’ve found many hashtags on beers such as #beer #craftbeer #beerbods #beertography #breweries #beerselfie and so on.
However, there isn’t a hashtag for academics who love beer, as me, and I was curious if beer could help me to engage others scholars in Twitter. So, I started “an experiment” launching #academicswithbeer with the help of Cristina Rigutto.
.@cristinarigutto and I are pleased to announce a new academic hashtag: #academicswithbeer pic.twitter.com/irGXv2IeF3
