Are you on Twitter?
Social media can be a good way of reaching colleagues, students and the wider public. The launch of the app LTH Now (which collates online content about LTH into one news feed) makes it easier to find out what's going on around our campus.
If you're on Twitter, send an email to anders-frick@kansli.lth.se and we will add you to the list of LTH-tweeters.
