Blogging
There is a growing number of blogs written by and about women in science, engineering, technology and the built environment (SET).
Visiting these blogs is an interesting and enjoyable way of keeping informed and involved. Creating a blog is one way of reflecting on your experiences and ideas and can help you raise your profile.
GetSET Women blog
Check out the UKRC's GetSET Women blog. There is a different blogger every two weeks from a wide range of different sectors and career stages. We welcome contributions and questions on the blog from anyone. If you are interested in becoming one of our bloggers yourself, please contact us. Alternatively you could join GetSET Women and add a link to your own blog or website on your profile page.
There is plenty of free advice on the internet about setting up and writing blogs. See for example Daniel Scocco's Daily Blog Tips.
