Science Communication on Instagram with Postdoc Daisy Shu

Daisy Shu, a postdoc at Harvard’s Schepens Eye Research Institute, uses social media to share her research life.

Daisy’s PhD thesis explores how cataracts are formed, and “how we can prevent it from forming from a molecular biology perspective.” Now she’s made the journey from Sydney, Australia to Boston to research diseases of the retina.

In our interview, she discusses her social media journey. From first hearing Hugh Kearns speak, to starting her popular Instagram channel in October.

I love featuring academics like Daisy. She’s awesome at sharing what she does with her social media audiences. And, she has some great advice for you.
