Q3 is about how can we bring the community and patients into our conferences. Looking forward to your ideas as @ehekler and I plan #sbm2019#behavioralmedchat
A3: When we invite folks from outside academia to a conference we need to make sure the experience is of value for them. We need to find out first what they would like to get out of the experience. #behavioralmedchat
A3: This interesting study found that when patients are engaged in the social media discussions in conferences they increase information flow, expand propagation of information, and deepen engagement (more so than physicians). #behavioralmedchatncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Hearing Dr. Christine Blasey Ford (let’s stop dropping the Dr. from her name, folks) coming forward hit close to home. I don't know her, but I have the same job and I shudder to think of the attempts to destroy her character. Any of us could be destroyed in the very same way 1/12
The job of academic clinical psychologist involves a lot of interacting with the public--we teach students, see patients, and publish research papers. Here are ways you could make any one of us look like a horrible person. 2/12
I share this not to give anyone ideas on how to do it, but to head off at the pass any attempt to twist this type of information to make an academic clinician look of poor integrity. 3/12
First, it was time consuming to get chapter authors and herd them thru the process, keeping chapters in consistent format and on time. Nearly impossible.
Then, reviewing lit for the chapters I co-authored took much time. Turned out to be great pieces, BUT..,
Q2. Content is key in #SoMe! Where do you find it? How do you keep up a daily content feed? #behavioralmedchat
A2. I post what I read. I don’t go out looking just for something to post. I also don’t post everything I read---I will post it if it seems like others could be interested or if I want to save it for later or both! #behavioralmedchat
A2. I try to keep the emotional valence of my content balanced, so if I’ve been hammering away at an issue that is a problem, I try to be mindful of that and be sure to also shine a light on things that are super cool and exciting. #behavioralmedchat
A1. Because that is where advocacy occurs. Find me an org that does advocacy well but is not on social media. If you want to have an impact on an issue, you have to use the channels by which people get information and communicate. #behavioralmedchat
A1. Social media, Twitter especially, is a great way to get a message to a larger audience. Very little research in scientific journals reaches a large audience. #behavioralmedchat
This op ed by @alexandrasking says Lauren Groff should indeed have answered the question on how she balances family and work. I respectfully disagree and here’s why. A thread. 1/14 cnn.com/2018/07/29/opi…
IMHO the question is inappropriate for any venue in which a woman is asked to speak about her work. It robs us of air time to talk about our work and ideas. 2/14
Women already get less air time to talk about our work/ideas (see: manels). Let’s not rob ourselves of even more. 3/14
This question has been coming up a lot lately, so I thought I would start a thread—plz add to it!
Your grant deadline is fast approaching and you are pretty behind schedule. You wonder: “Should I cram and submit now OR wait until next cycle?” 1/11
Have all of your co-Is and consultants had a chance to read it thoroughly and respond? Make there is enough time remaining to get their read on its readiness. If there isn't, then wait. 2/11
How is your funding situation? Will your job be compromised if you wait? If the clock says this has to be a hail mary pass, so be it. If there’s time on the clock, then don’t throw a hail mary. 3/11
