I wish my students knew something about what it means to do research in mathematics. Most of my students have an idea about what lab science research looks like, but not about math research. Or that mathematicians are solving new research questions & publishing papers. +https://twitter.com/jagoldma/status/1166452702001475585 …

Partially, yes! I certainly talk about "life as a mathematician" and math research to my own students, especially in upper level courses, but then I'm in a room full of ~20 at a time.

For me, twitter has been a good platform to help give mathematical ideas, math research, mathematicians, etc. better visibility. (And more than a few times students have appeared in my office to say, "hey you tweeted this cool thing, can you tell me more about it?")
