@GongGasGirl I think that's a really good observation - it's such an interesting space to work in right now. And #COVID19 has made #scicomm more topical than it might have been otherwise. #VirtualNotViral #MyScienceMay

@scidocmartin My friend @inquisitiveGyn says that Hippocrates would have been on Twitter. It’s the new chit chat over the water cooler / town square. #virtualnotviral

I don't have scientifically backed tips, but I'm a big believer in finding some role models and I'd start with @melaniefinch_ who has done an amazing job sharing her research on TikTok with video abstracts and she's a great person to look to for inspo #VirtualNotViral
15 minutes to go on #VirtualNotVIral tweetchat on sci comm - do we have any top tips on good research communication?

@scidocmartin In medicine, it has been traditional to discuss science only amongst other doctors; usually behind paywalled journals or at conferences. It was considered perhaps beneath folk (and anyway unnecessary) to discuss more broadly. Only the esteemed few were invited to the discussion.

I think a great hook to grab the audiences attention at the beginning is also essential, and presenting your ideas in a narrative format. We find the ABT a useful tool for presenting ideas in narrative format https://t.co/8g3E5fZkct

Excellent #VirtualNotViral question! I think considering your audience is the most important. Putting them at the centre, and ideally helping them to solve a problem can make for some great #SciComm What do you think #MyScienceMay team?
