@kristinHenry Hi. So, I am new and I appear to have joined this instance by mistake and I'm not a data viz person, I am interested in education policy in the UK and worldwide. Is there a better instance that I can join? How would I move my profile. Sorry - these are newbie questions but we're all exoding twitter and soooo confused!

@Otterlyelz It's ok, we're happy to host you while you figure out where you eventually want to land. Please feel free to post about your interests. And look for hashtags that are relevant to your work. That's how search works here, just by hashtags.

So you might use something like #edupolicy #uk and so on.

Are you into Science edu? If so, there are a lot of folks here in #Scicomm

@kristinHenry Thank you! I will check those hashtags. A few of us are trying to find eachother under #edutooter

@Otterlyelz you might also make connections while your here, that you might not otherwise.

Post about what your interested in, what you do, and use of all the hashtags you can think of.

@Otterlyelz and you might want to check out who's here. You could find folks with intersections with your interests.
