To Tweet or Not to TweetTwitter

The Bar-Ilan U. marketing department offered a very informative Zoom seminar on February 21, 2022 regarding the proper use of Twitter. It was attended by several Azrieli researchers.

The speakers stressed that as of the outbreak of Covid-19, Twitter has become more and more popular and influential – and our researchers are encouraged to make use of this important social media platform.

Seminars

As we open the new semester, stay tuned for a new line-up of weekly Faculty Seminars, which will be posted here.
