Bio and profile picture

[joenash]

Providing a bio and profile picture will help you get to know each other, as well as being a handy tool for workshops, talks and external websites.

• Drop us a profile picture, it can be serious or fun, totally up to you, whatever you feel best represents you! The only guidance is it should be recognisably you so students on your campus can find you!
• Drop us a paragraph or two about you. Here's a great article on writing a bio: http://scottberkun.com/2013/how-to-write-a-good-bio/
