Explainer threads 🧵 are generous. They help science be a community, not a contest. Keep 'em coming!

Complex concepts within complex papers may obscure the central issues of importance- if you value the work undertaken that results in publication do you not value the opportunity to explain it to non-experts who will benefit from the information?

💯 Love explainer threads. Those who don't, don't have to read them.

I think for people who don’t understand the technical language, it makes the language and content approachable + personally, I do think that the mistrust with the scientific community is bc of this ‘barrier of language’

YES!!! Expecially if you are a trainee - I very much want to hear what you've accomplished so I can help celebrate it.

On twitter, we used to call them tweeprints. I think we need a new name for BlueSky. Ideas???
