Academic knowledge goes viral
The story that garnered the most interest from our audience in March was this piece on how “seriously ugly” Australia will look if the world heats by 3°C this century, by the University of Queensland’s Ove Hoegh-Guldberg and Macquarie University’s Lesley Hughes. It was read 504,100 times!
Tim Stern from Victoria University of Wellington’s article about earthquakes in New Zealand was the second most-read of the month with 336,084 reads. Tim said, “Communicating our science out to a wide audience is part of our job, and your website is an excellent vehicle for this.”
On social media, Leah Ruppaner and Jordy Meekes from University of Melbourne’s piece on gender and flexible work arrangements attracted significant interest. It was included in a popular Instagram video by our Deputy Multimedia Editor Chynthia Wijaya, which became one of our most popular Facebook posts of the month, and was featured by LinkedIn News Australia.
