Some personal news: After 4.5 years @Twitter my time has come to move on... I’m headed to Google to work on Privacy for Search & Assistant!

1/(a much longer 🧵 than I expected...) It’s been an honor to help build Twitter’s Health team over the past 3 years into a core part of everything we do… I’m so proud of how far we’ve come and love to see our plans become reality!

1/ We know there are a number of researchers studying Health-related topics – many for years and decades... 2/ We also know we haven’t always been able to meet the needs of the research community – our API doesn’t reflect additional spam & safety filters used in-app to keep people safe & we haven’t always made it easy or possible to get the right data to understand these issues

I often hear that Product Management is the intersection of 3 skills: Engineering, Product/Business and Design (EPD). IMO this misses almost everything that makes or breaks a PM. I think about PM skills as 4 layers as follows: 0/ 1/ The 4 skill layers you need to be a good Product Manager (ranked by importance) are:

Spent some time learning how to use @SlackHQ -- went down some documentation rabbit holes. Here are the 10 most useful things I learned: 1.
