TO TWEET OR NOT TO TWEET, THAT IS THE QUESTION
During the #ISTH2021 congress, the #ISTHEarlyCareer committee asked me and Matthew Cormier #SoMe editor from @RPTHjournal to participate in “Channel chats” Personally, Twitter has strangely enriched my life in unexpected ways, as I've found friendly, like-minded people in the field and beyond, some fun and even a fantastic mentor. I thought it might be helpful to provide some tips and tricks! See short “How to” guide here.
