[Sophia Fedorowicz @Soph_Fedorowicz]

I've been working full time for 6 weeks now along side my part time #phd and it's time to make a plan.

So I want to hear from all you working phd researchers - how do you manage it? How do we get it #PhDone?

@GongGasGirl I think that's a really good observation - it's such an interesting space to work in right now. And #COVID19 has made #scicomm more topical than it might have been otherwise. #VirtualNotViral #MyScienceMay

[Tanya @GongGasGirl]

@scidocmartin My friend @inquisitiveGyn says that Hippocrates would have been on Twitter.

It’s the new chit chat over the water cooler / town square. #virtualnotviral

@scidocmartin We have watched expert science communicators become household names during covid. #virtualnotviral

[@PhD-VirtualNotViral @virtualnotviral]

Two minutes until we finish our tweetchat. Any final words @scidocmartin @avid_podcast and @UniMelbscicomm ?

[Avid Research @avid_podcast]

I don't have scientifically backed tips, but I'm a big believer in finding some role models and I'd start with @melaniefinch_ who has done an amazing job sharing her research on TikTok with video abstracts and she's a great person to look to for inspo #VirtualNotViral

[A/Prof Jen Martin @scidocmartin.bsky.social @scidocmartin]

@GongGasGirl Which is exactly what Michael Crichton wrote about here back in 1975!

@scidocmartin In medicine, it has been traditional to discuss science only amongst other doctors; usually behind paywalled journals or at conferences.

It was considered perhaps beneath folk (and anyway unnecessary) to discuss more broadly. Only the esteemed few were invited to the discussion.

[A/Prof Jen Martin @scidocmartin.bsky.social @scidocmartin]

Question for our #VirtualNotViral #MyScienceMay gang:

'The main thing that prevents me sharing my science more broadly is…'

[Dr. Ann Lawless @Anntics]

@virtualnotviral I track several academic journals oscience and the pubiuc, the citizen scientist etc. eg Public Understanding of Science. Query - how do we speak to scientists about our work with the public? #VirtualNotViral

I think a great hook to grab the audiences attention at the beginning is also essential, and presenting your ideas in a narrative format. We find the ABT a useful tool for presenting ideas in narrative format https://t.co/8g3E5fZkct
