This livestream is part of the Best Personal Academic Websites Contest 2025, the 3rd annual contest hosted by Jennifer van Alstyne of The Social Academic, Brittany Trinh of the Beyond Your Science Podcast, and Ian Li creator of Owlstown, a free academic website builder.
Join us for this informal chat about websites for academics in 2025. Some questions we cover:
- What are your options for making your website?
- What makes for the best website examples for academics?
- How can I have a website fast (like today even)?
- What should people prioritize when telling their story on their website?
- What makes for the best portfolio websites (and what can go on them)?
Your contest co-hosts are back with another live to support your academic website project. Whether you’re a professor, researcher, scientist, postdoc, graduate student, independent scholar, you deserve space online.
This year’s Best Personal Academic Website Contest also supports the websites of research labs and research groups.
Check out our past livestream, the Set Up Your Website event.
