Why should you engage in public scholarship as an academic? Whether you're faculty or a PhD student (or really any kind of student or researcher!), there are a lot of benefits to things like writing op eds, tweeting, blogging about your published papers, creating youtube videos, and other ways of communicating research to the general public. Not only is it good for the world and a way for your work to have more positive impact on the world, but it can also help your academic career! It's even one suggestion I give to people when they ask how to get citations! It will also help improve your academic writing skills.
