# REG twitter take-over

**Account**: [@turinghut23](https://twitter.com/turinghut23)
**Pasword**: Ask Camila or Fede the day before.

## Before starting tweeting 

- Change the profile picture with one of your, with the REG logo. Curretly there is not a super easy way to do that, as an example I have used Pages and screen shots to create something [like this](https://i.imgur.com/lP8m8m6.png).  
- ~~At the end of the twitter bio add the line: "Tweets by @yourusername."~~ (Not enough space on the bio)
- Once you finish the day, make sure to change back to the default logo and bio.
 

## Guidelines for the take-over

### General

- Start in the morning, after 10 am, and tweet during the working day. 
- Use a thread (answering to your last tweet) to keep the message in one place.
- People like emojis and GIFs, feel free to use them as much as you'd like.
- If you are talking about a project, check with the PI and/or REG lead that you can talk openly about it (this should be the case 95% of the time). 
- Tag collaborators when talking about a project.
- Keep it informal.
   
### Content of a take-over

- Start introducing yourself.
- Talk about your background before Turing.
- Talk about your work at the Turing (you could focus on one project).
- Talk about REG, maybe highlight some activity that might be going on at the moment (e.g a tech talk).
- Finalise advertising the open positions and retweeting our recruitment thread.
