I wanted to preface future bits of science with some personal perspective. I've been using Twitter as "science blog" for years and was posting observations on #nCoV2019 from Jan 11 (). 1/5
"Science Twitter" is a wonderful place and there has been fantastic dialog between scientists since January (shoutout to @arambaut, @cmyeaton, @K_G_Andersen, @richardneher, @MarionKoopmans, @RELenski, @firefoxx66, @AdamJKucharski, @SRileyIDD, @C_Althaus, @rozeggo). 2/5
My initial dialog with scientists has spiraled somewhat out of control and I now find myself with ~100k followers and rather than a dialog it's become more about reporting / outreach. This is intimidating but I'll do my best to with it. 3/5
I'm trying to get important results broadcast widely as time is of the essence, but there will be a necessary accuracy trade-off compared to traditional scientific discourse. 4/5
Please don't take my word as gospel. I'm not an expert on this virus (I don't think anyone can call themselves one at this point; it's too new). I'm doing my best here. 5/5
