Molecular modeling projects often demand effective collaboration, and having a clear and professional online presence can make working with others much easier. SAMSON Connect helps you collaborate smoothly by enabling you to create a detailed, personalized user profile – but are you taking full advantage of this feature?
Customizing your user profile on SAMSON Connect is not just about making it public. It’s about presenting your expertise, interests, and links to other professional networks to effectively position yourself in the vibrant molecular design community.
How to Edit Your Profile
To begin personalizing your profile, head over to User menu > Profile on SAMSON Connect. Here’s what you can do to create a profile that truly represents you:
- Choose a public handle: Select a unique identifier for yourself on SAMSON so collaborators can easily find you. Be quick – handles are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis!
- Write an extensive bio: You have up to 20,000 characters to introduce yourself, share your research interests, and highlight important achievements. Markdown formatting is supported, allowing you to create links, add titles, and even include images to enrich your profile.
- Link to your social networks: Include links to your LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), GitHub, ResearchGate, or other platforms where collaborators can learn more about your work.
Here’s what the edit section looks like:
What Others Will See
