Why Twitter?
#Science really thrives on open discourse to share ideas, experimental results, methods, which is probably why so many academics use Twitter. But this form of #scicomm is key so that we can also extend those conversations to the public. https://www.labsexplorer.com/c/twitter-and-scientists-a-love-story_185

Why Twitter?
Well before the #COVID19 pandemic mobilized #Academia to use social media in new ways, the #DecolonizeDNA Day Twitter event was planned to bring together scientists globally (albeit on EDT time) w/o travel & w/o conference budget. 8/10 https://decolonize-dna.org/faqs/

Events due to #COVID19 have had huge impacts worldwide, showing the importance of bridging #science & #health awareness to world leaders, funding agencies & global citizens.
We hope that open #scicomm can promote transparency, trust & highlight issues 9/10
