Is Twitter The New ID Textbook?

Bugs, Drugs, and Social Media – Twitter as a Tool for Advancing the Field of Infectious Diseases

My #ECCMID2022 slides as a 🧵 1/n

Many ingredients in the kitchen of social media can be combined to create different products which supports advancing ID through SM.

Each activity can support one or multiple domains of 🧠 Blooms Taxonomy.

Get creative with your recipes to create new fun stuff! 2/n

One of the best accounts out there on SM @DGlaucomflecken - huge reach in short period, recent ASP skit in vertical video, very entertaining & original, uses several SM platforms.

REMEMBERING domain: ⚠️ beware inappropriate meropenem prescribing.

3/n

#IDquiz is a short 🧩 puzzle focused on bugs and drugs

ANALYZING domain: differentiate options to find the one right answer

👀 for coming article in CID on it with @BRxAD and @IDdocAdi

4/n

#MicroRounds let’s us feel as if we are rounding in the 🔬 lab, @richdavisphd an education rich (no pun intended) account to follow.

APPLY & ANALYZE domains as we see 🧫 what’s growing with take home messages from experts in the lab

5/n

#IDboardreview let’s us see what ID fellows are 📖 studying, discussing cases in practice supported by reference links allowing for deeper dives

EVALUATE domain - Higher level learning on meaningful topics, not just helpful for ID fellows

6/n

🗣 Twitter chats #ASPchat & #IDJclub help us share ideas/insights, reflect, and evaluate meaningful topics

@IDJClub let’s clinicians learn from each others’ insights, while learners identify what clinicians find important

CREATE domain - practice application of takeaways

7/n

Twitter is an important book in the 2022 library of learning. 📚 Other SM platforms also have their place.

Hashtags are like chapters in the Twitter for ID textbook… Volume 2 is still being written, 🤓 excited to see what comes next for #SOTL in ID on SM

8/n

🤔 Reflections from presenting…

▪️ SM is complicated, impossible to set stage and relay my evaluation of items in just a few minutes

▪️Masks make it hard to read the audience, see reactions. Unfortunate for people like me who feed off of facial expressions to find a flow.

🤔 Reflections from making my first 🧵

▪️Not sure I did this right 😂

▪️Hard to put complex things into concise tweets, 📸 visuals are helpful

▪️Emojis also help relay info 📖🤓

▪️ Do follow up tweets like this without a /n count as part of the thread 🤷‍♂️ 🙃

🤔 Reflections from the #ECCMID2022 social media talks…

▪️ Scicomm training opportunities are needed now for academics, scientists, HCPs

▪️We need to have a voice if we hope to help steer the ship/fleet

▪️A rising tide raises all boats

▪️Proceed to SM with caution
