A5: Final question is about incentives/disincentives for academics to engage with the community, patients, public... #behavioralmedchat
A5: I believe there are incentives. Tenure and promotion packages require a statement of impact. That statement is more compelling if it extends outside the bounds of citations and journal impact factors. #behavioralmedchat
A5: University leadership should send the message that public engagement is valued and provide opportunities for faculty to learn how to engage the public. Faculty tend to be responsive to the mission of leadership. If leadership is silent, well... #behavioralmedchat

I keep encountering misconceptions about what behavioral counseling is, particularly when it comes to health conditions. As psychologists, we don’t just chat w/ patients or tell them what to do. Behavioral counseling is a collaborative learning process. Let me explain… #scicomm
Let’s say a patient comes to me wanting to lose weight. My first step is to assess how much they want to lose, why they want to lose weight, medical or psych issues that might be affecting their weight, and what they have tried in the past (and how that went). 2/n
If issues emerge that should be treated first, I will do so or refer. For ex, if the patient has uncontrolled diabetes, we would address this. If they have depression, weight loss will be difficult, so we will need to tackle this via counseling and/or meds. 3/n

It’s grant season again! Isn’t THIS scenario the WORST:

You submitted a grant, it got a score. You respond to the reviews only for the resubmission score to stay the same or get worse. AGH!! What happened? Here are some common reasons. A thread! 1/14
The No Cigar: The changes you made did not adequately solve the problems that reviewers were concerned about. 2/14
The One Step Forward, One Step Back: A change you made solved one problem but then introduced a new problem. 3/14

Hearing Dr. Christine Blasey Ford (let’s stop dropping the Dr. from her name, folks) coming forward hit close to home. I don't know her, but I have the same job and I shudder to think of the attempts to destroy her character. Any of us could be destroyed in the very same way 1/12
The job of academic clinical psychologist involves a lot of interacting with the public--we teach students, see patients, and publish research papers. Here are ways you could make any one of us look like a horrible person. 2/12
I share this not to give anyone ideas on how to do it, but to head off at the pass any attempt to twist this type of information to make an academic clinician look of poor integrity. 3/12

Thinking about how to explain #publichistory and #digitalhistory scholarship to colleagues on academic #tenure and promotion committees, especially those who are used to sole-authored books as the gold standard #dh #digitalhumanities 1/15
The core of the work is familiar: conceptualization, research, and writing (even if the ultimate presentation is not in the form of prose). The work is original and interpretive, just like traditional monographic scholarship. 2/15
But #publichistory’s attention to #sharedauthority means that the work is developed in cooperation with the public, a process that sometimes provokes conflict and controversy that the scholar has to manage. Sometimes great potential projects can’t come to fruition. 3/15

It can take a lot of time. I do it between things - while I'm waiting on line, in a boring meeting, rocking a sleeping child.... For me, it's a filler. It’s not the main event. A5/#behavioralmedchat
Except for rare circumstances, what I post is spontaneous. I toss it out there, misspellings and weird grammar and all. I don’t waste time agonizing or planning posts. A5/#behavioralmedchat
Remember: IT'S OKAY to scan and check out if nothing grabs you. A5/#behavioralmedchat

Tweets are so ephemeral it's hard to feel that it makes real impact. Once in a while, you feel that you have entered people’s brainspace in a meaningful way. More commonly, it’s more about steadily contributing drops to the ocean of conversation on a topic. A4/#behavioralmedchat
I have this thing about authenticity. You can kind of tell when people are going for attention and RTs and follows. There are a million people trying to get hits. There is only one voice that is yours. A4/ #behavioralmedchat
So I think posting what you know, what you are passionate about, in a way that is true to your own inner voice, is the way to go. The impact follows naturally from there. A4/ #behavioralmedchat

A3. Start with people you admire and who post interesting and thoughtful things. Then look at who they follow: they likely get their content from being in the same space with OTHER great people. #behavioralmedchat
A3. Join in on conversations with people you follow. If there's a thread and you can add, jump in - just like you would in real life! And chats like this help you find like minded people too. Who you follow and chat with becomes your audience. #behavioralmedchat
A3. I had a looooong stretch of tweeting into the void. I totally get it! Being consistent, finding your people, hopping into conversations, pushing out interesting content and your unique take on it - these will draw people to you. #behavioralmedchat

A2. I follow people I admire, including clinicians of all backgrounds, researchers, health economists, scholars, policymakers, journalists, and activists. Curating that list means that I mostly only have good content to choose from. #behavioralmedchat
A2. I’m focused about content: I'm mostly on Twitter to discuss health care policy, social justice, & gender equity.Having a sense of purpose brings things into focus so it's not so overwhelming trying to find content. #behavioralmedchat
A2. Over time, when your interests are clear, people start to tag you on news stories or studies relevant to you. That makes things easier. Another reason to be very clear and consistent about your interest areas. #behavioralmedchat

A1. Our mission as scientists, physicians, public health advocates is to have knowledge reach as many people as possible for the largest impact possible. Social media is a wonderful way to realize that goal. #behavioralmedchat
A1. Misinformation spreads quickly, and we can be the steady, sure voices that provide a link to data. And often we are the ones who have to point out where there is insufficient data to make a claim. #behavioralmedchat
A1. It’s not always sexy to be the steady, constant, voice of reason and data. But it’s so important. And the social media platform allows us to have fun and be creative, visual, and entertaining as we broadcast information. #behavioralmedchat
