Really looking forward to the first of the Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Alcohol and Young People (IPAP) seminars at Cardiff University on Tuesday.  Professor Glyn Lewis from Bristol University will be presenting on 'Alcohol Use in Adolescence - Harms and Advice'.  There are just a couple of spaces left -register here!

We'll be tweeting key highlights using the hashtag #alcoholyp, and encouraging attendees and others to include #alcohol-yp in their tweets related to the seminar, so everyone can easily view them, and later they can be storified.

Still finding our way with this, but there's a Twitter search widget on the IPAP page that will display all tweets with the seminar hashtag.  We plan to use this in three main ways - firstly to display tweets at the seminar itself (during questions), to hopefully add a new way for people to share ideas and consider others' thoughts.  Secondly, to allow people who can't make it to the seminar to follow key points, questions, and discussions.  And thirdly to facilitate networking and future collaboration between people with an interest in the key issues we'll be discussing.

Will let you know here how we get on!

I've just collated some of the Twitter discussion on possible minimum pricing of alcohol in England.  First time I've used Storify to do this.  See the results below.  In the New Year I'm planning to do something similar each week on parents and families.
