As an asexual, sometimes you're just trying to invent a decent salad mixxxer and life just decides that it's a vibrator.

I know I don't post here often but I write on Wattpad.

Fanfiction specifically for those of you who don't know.

I'm just here to shamelessly show off the amount of views and votes and comments I've gotten on my works, like hot damn that's a lot.

When academic and research institutions generate information, they have a responsibility to share and communicate their findings with a broader audience in order to benefit as a whole. How is knowledge being implemented in different communities and what technologies are being used to communicate between each other? How can the academic community integrate with the wider community? The Research Commons invites grad students from every discipline to discuss:

involving the public in setting research agendas

knowledge translation

community members as active collaborators in research

patient-conducted research in health care

exploring social media for knowledge sharing

OpenScience, etc.: making publicly funded research freely available

What is a creator's accountability to the source of their inspiration?

Practice communicating your research as we blur the boundary between the academic and wider community. Join us for our March FIREtalk, Community and Communication.
