Read on Twitter
This is an excellent thread for using Twitter. Here are a few of my thoughts, as a PhD student who enjoys academic Twitter.

It can be helpful to be on Twitter even if you donât tweet. Itâs a great way to find new articles, get tagged in your publications, and see academics discussing emerging issues

On the other hand, if twitter isnât helpful/enjoyable for you, it isnât necessary. Weâve got enough other things we gotta do.

Itâs fine to mostly retweet things, especially as youâre starting out. Summarizing interesting articles (and tagging authors) is a great way to get tweets flowing.

People do notice when you like their posts. I âlikeâ freely because I get excited about many things. Iâm sure this strategy has pros and cons https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">
