#ACR22 social media talk, very meta

Part 1️⃣: optimize your conference tweeting
If you're reading this you probably know all of this!

The first pro-tip was figure out the conference hashtag
The second? Engage with others in rheum
#ACR22

What else?

👉amplify your group
👉amplify speakers and sessions of interest
👉amplify your colleagues so they will amplify you in turn

#ACR22

You are also tweeting for people who could not be at the conference. Spread the word about the work being done & conversations being had at #ACR22!

Part 2️⃣: Promote your work on social media

If you have a research group, get your group a Twitter account & post about events, accomplishments, publications

#ACR22

Post about your publications.

Don't just post a link, but make a short thread.
❓Why did you do this study?
❓What did you find?
❓What are the implications?

@rheum_covid What did we learn?

👉you don't need to be in the same room, institution, or part of the world to collaborate and conduct rigorous and impactful research!

@rheum_covid When collaborating remotely & globally:
👉timelines are different
👉set clear expectations for different individuals on the team
👉have multiple touchpoints and routes of communication
👉collaborative editing is a must (pls don't email documents back & forth)
