THREAD: Lately, I've been revisiting my notes from the fantastic #SciWri21 conference. It was fun to live-tweet many of the sessions, and I wanted to collect those threads in one place. So, here is my #SciWri21 mega-thread (a.k.a. "thread-ception")! [1/n]

Of course, I wanted to attend *every* session, but it's difficult when the interruptions of daily life are so near. My next tweet lists sessions I missed live (or did not live-tweet). Check out the hashtags for insightful nuggets from fellow attendees & live-tweeters! [19/n]
@ScienceWriters has a *epic* conference recap mega-thread of their own here. It includes resources for continuing engagement and connection with the science writing community. #SciWri21 [21/n]

I hope that this thread serves as a useful resource. It was so lovely to meet new friends & colleagues at #SciWri21. During these tough times, I've found that conference-ing is comfort for the soul. Eagerly awaiting next year's meeting in Memphis & online @ #SciWri22!

A short escape from wall-to-wall election coverage & vote counting, thanks to @NotesByNiba. Super excited for Niba's presentation!
Three common mistakes when sharing science on social media:
--trusting the algorithm to lift your content
--undervaluing personal branding
--not engaging genuinely with your audience
Communicating science on social media:
--build a story
--avoid jargon
--don't assume you're more knowledgeable than your audience (not only wrong, but condescending)
--your audience isn't everyone, find YOUR audience & build that community

Great #scicomm tips from @NotesByNiba!
