To be honest, I normally use the chrome share button one because I like that it puts a little dinosaur in the QR code.

If you’ve ever published an academic paper, or otherwise been involved in research, you might set up an ORCID and point at that: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Forcid.org%2F&data=05%7C01%7Clena.g.bohman%40HOFSTRA.EDU%7C39a9efa207ed40cce2ca08dbe5fe6a21%7Ce32fc43d7c6246d9b49fcd53ba8d9424%7C0%7C0%7C638356653094920875%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Jqp0D0M%2Bqrv5oOcIyGqpVk44r1JH4O6l2QCt%2FPWwzNw%3D&reserved=0<https://orcid.org/> (It’s more CV than business card, though. I don’t remember if they have fields to post contact information like email and phone number) If you’re doing it for a specific job, you might be able to point at a staff directory page, but I’ve done web development for too long, and not enough people follow the concept of ‘Cool URIs’: https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FProvider%2FStyle%2FURI&data=05%7C01%7Clena.g.bohman%40HOFSTRA.EDU%7C39a9efa207ed40cce2ca08dbe5fe6a21%7Ce32fc43d7c6246d9b49fcd53ba8d9424%7C0%7C0%7C638356653094920875%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=OmQZUIamOYETPxSPcYAWweelp7ud%2BVR5fZl%2FHgu2BWQ%3D&reserved=0<https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI> (Which is why I suggest going through a PURL; that can always redirect to the staff directory page or whatever else. LinkTree might work, but they could also fold like bit.ly) -Joe **** CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Hofstra University.
