But when I did a talk on social media my partners warned me to "be careful, because there are weirdos out there on the internet." I don't think the internet has a lock on weirdos! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115140830988428493.post-24004409412157678142011-04-19T06:05:33.221-04:002011-04-19T06:05:33.221-04:00Thanks for the post!

I think it's as you say- you have to try it to learn about it, and med folks don't have the curiosity or the time to give it a try. <br /><br />-AaronAaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754718274193630654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115140830988428493.post-37455183298135344352011-04-19T00:09:46.201-04:002011-04-19T00:09:46.201-04:00Thanks, very nice post.

Twitter following and blogging will never garner the same "currency" as grants and papers, but neither does doing a great lecture! Medical educators especially should begin to embrace new ways to educate not just our own students and trainees, but the public. (I just happened to write about a similar topic this weekend)<br /><br />I look forward to reading more. <br />RDMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115140830988428493.post-39081405000352027032011-04-18T23:46:09.378-04:002011-04-18T23:46:09.378-04:00Good post.
