Abstract

Since the inception of Twitter in 2006, the platform has grown tremendously, with over 199 million daily active users worldwide as of May 2021 (Tankovska, 2021). The use of Twitter in academia is of particular interest to me since I have used the platform to live tweet clinical conferences, to share my professional work, and to connect with large networks of clinicians, medical librarians, and methodologists. These connections have often led to lasting relationships and professional collaborations.
