Saying the product of the kidneys is urine is like saying the product of a factory is pollution. Urine is a by-product. The product is homeostasis COI: link👇🏼

Polarization in #KidneyWk Educational Community by Avrum Gillespie @AvrumGillespie

The agenda #KidneyWk

Why we tweet. #KidneyWk

Going deep into the "Social" of social media. The Left and Middle box. #KidneyWk

What is a social network. Nice demonstration of an online and offline (dialysis unit, see the pinned tweet on @AvrumGillespie twitter feed for more on that) social network. #KidneyWk

Popular people get more popular. This is called preferential attachment. His example is some clown named @Kidney_Boy #KidneyWk

Homophily, people seek attachments with people of similar beliefs and interests. #KidneyWk

Transitivity (clustering) a friend of my friend is my friend, Constraint are people that are not joint friends (I think, it was a little unclear)

Influence is more powerful than credibility. #KidneyWk

Clustering coefficients measures polarization
Eigenvector how well connected are you to someone who is well-connected
Average path length who many people does it take a message to go. (this was unclear)

#KidneyWk

Using those definitions and looking at #KidneyWk 2019 and 2020, I wonder what was different between those two conferences?

No mention on how they defined tweets on diabetic kidney disease. #KidneyWk

Seahorse vs Hagfish. Not clear if he is joking. #KidneyWk

How reduce polarization. #KidneyWk

Social Media team to defend the network. He never defines attack or defense. I have no idea what this slide means. #KidneyWk

His key data is 2019 vs 2020 #KidneyWk and he never mentioned the pandemic. Wild.
