We knew this.
We need stable, responsible voices on #SoMe
I am ALL for 1st amendment. Am anti-policing. Am anti-censorship.
Those of us in #SciComm can hold our OWN selves to higher standards than I see on #MedTwitter now. Vet. Verify. Be factual. Don’t do “left” vs “right.”

We cannot control what others post or do with our own posts to mislabel or misuse, unfortunately. We can reduce the “gotcha” aspects w/ passing things thru several gates. For me, having worked in the ED, been a public official, served as an expert witness, have automatic filters.
Deleting is NO protection. There is legal precedent “cleaning up” social media can lead to more questions.
It has been screenshotted. The “blocked!” or “deleted!” is used for innuendo.
Long thread on compliance & legal aspects of #SciComm for licensed professionals.

I worked in #Medicaid for 3 years & as #FQHC CMO & VP of Medical Affairs to expand access, improve maternal child #health. Part of job: compliance, oversight, discipline clinicians. I hate saying “don’t” but am sharing on what basis I signed/testified to to remove credentials.
As we saw yesterday, elected officials, even those in the highest office of the land, do not get held to standards. Many spew conspiracies without verified facts.
It makes it very difficult to do good #SciComm, especially for #publichealth. Science & politics conflated.

Please focus on verified facts and standards
Do not outsource your critical thinking to anyone else. Another person you agree with/similar to you may be wrong, biased, using outdated/debunked information
If you are unsure, don’t reshare
Credibility, being factual, is critical

If you take any appointed or employed role in #publichealth, have to guard your integrity carefully. At the top tier: often an elected official. Be known for your reliability, fairness, #ethics. Personally, am grateful I had good role models including hsph.harvard.edu/ecpe/faculty/c…
I had to be VERY careful in that role and when on board of MA @AmerAcadPeds not to speak in left/right, GOP/Dem terms. Be SPECIFIC in your communication if you seek accountability from elected officials and candidates. Let’s do what we can to counter growing anti-science biases.
I find something positive WHILE saying I do not agree in this #podcast with @Ned_Arick. “Even a broken clock is right twice a day” helps me with this framing
Even now, on #healthcare #price #transparency, Trump administration 👍 It can disarm vs escalate

This is worth watching
Rural hospitals are closing
Public education gutted
Rising income inequality
Historical harms & structures of inequity still in place
People are hurting
“Snarks” feel good in the moment but alienate
+ reinforce elitism reputation
