👇Publication opportunity for MD, NP, and RN tweeps!
I'm writing a piece on how to document social media engagement as public scholarship on CVs and dossiers in medicine and nursing. Target Journal = @AcadMedJournal
1/
There's no widely-accepted format for how to do this so I thought it was about time we fixed that. :)
2/
Since the article is about social media engagement, I decided to take a risk and use social media to recruit co-authors and add to/revise the draft manuscript.

Academic Medicine uses the ICMJE definition of authorship: "Authorship is based on (1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for .....
4/
"...important intellectual content, (3) final approval of the version to be published, and (4) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately ....
5/
"...investigated and resolved. Authors must meet conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4."
6/
If you're willing to meet conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4, AND you're willing to turn around your edits in the next 7 days -- a timeframe I picked solely because I want to see how fast we can actually do this -- here's how you can co-author this paper with me....
7/
Step 1. Go to the Google Doc and type in your name and affiliation on the title page in a blue highlighted spots (you can add more spots if you need to).
** Rest assured your name will NOT be included on the submission unless you give approval of the final version.**
8/
Step 2. Make the article better. Work your magic. Don't insert comments -- add to or revise the actual text of the article. You have good ideas -- your ideas will make this article much better!
9/
Next Friday I'll take whatever edits have been made and will create a final version of the submission. I'll email it to everyone who listed their name on the title page. If you're happy with the final version and you meet the authorship criteria, bingo - you're a co-author.

For a control-freak like me this is absolutely terrifying, BTW.
If we pull this off, we can change the way CVs and dossiers look at med schools and nursing schools. The last person who did that was Ernest Boyer 30 years ago.
How cool is that?

In terms of the co-authors, I *really* want to have a diverse group. We can't have a bunch of white, cis, heterosexual, able-bodied folx writing this.
14/
If you're white, cis, heterosexual, and able-bodied, I'd still love for you to be a co-author. Just saying that I'm hoping for a diverse group overall.
15/
I'm excited to see what comes of this. Thanks for being open to being part of this adventure! Here's the link to the Google Doc if you missed it earlier: docs.google.com/document/d/17z…
If you’re white, you know someone who empathizes with the mob at the Capitol.
You know someone who *supports* the actions taken by that mob.
1/
You know someone who thinks Trump won the election but it was “stolen” from him.
2/
You know someone who called it a “riot” when Black people took to the streets to protest racism in policing, broke windows, and burned buildings, but...

In the J-term class I'm teaching, the topic of "faking it" came up yesterday. I don't know who needs to hear this today but I thought it was worth sharing.
1/
Some women and non-binary people with vaginas feel pressured to "perform" pleasure for the benefit of a partner. In movies and on TV, sex rarely takes a long time -- it's done quickly and both parties act as though they had an orgasm through penis-in-vagina sex.
2/
In reality, reaching orgasm for people with vaginas is generally more complicated than that. It can be difficult for someone to feel confident enough to say to a penis-having partner that they need more than PIV in order to have an orgasm.

I've worked as a volunteer at the past three inaugurations: twice with the American Red Cross (Obama 2009, Trump 2017) and once with the Boy Scouts of America (Obama 2013).
1/
I was proud to serve at all three events. Crowds in 2009 and 2013 were massive but I felt safe. Crowds were tiny in 2017 and there was more discord but I still felt safe.
2/
I'm sad to say I won't be volunteering to serve at Biden's inauguration because after this week, I have zero confidence in the ability of the Capitol Police to handle anything other than maybe defending the body wash aisle in CVS.
3/
Like the author of the piece, I've been on the "patient side of the stethoscope" before -- through hospitalizations with Greyson, my (compulsively early but) late wife, and myself.
I empathize with how frightening it can be when a loved one is in the hospital. I also empathize with how difficult it can be to be a healthcare professional taking care of someone - someone who is usually cared for by a loved one who, at that moment, feels helpless.
2/
The concerns raised by physicians on Twitter about the medical inaccuracies in the article are valid ones.
I feel more conflicted about the comments re: the author "hissing" at a resident who tried to examine her daughter in the middle of the night.

Thank you to my @UVA, @UVASON, and @uvamedicine colleagues who have been speaking out loudly, clearly, and consistently on Twitter over the past year (and long before that) about the ways in which politics, policy, racism, and health are inextricably intertwined.
1/
For my colleagues at UVA who *haven't* dipped their toe into using Twitter to speak truth to power, here are a few tips for getting started.
1. Decide what kind of world you want to live in.
2/
2. Decide whether you're willing to say hard truths out loud, in public, even if that means the people you work with -- or for -- may not like what you have to say.
