      Social media influencers are becoming “experts” and people are listening-worse-flocking to them.

      Is it odd when @rmcarpiano, a health researcher, critiques the role of people with no health credentials in shaping science communications, using @zeynep as an example-when she is in fact a communications expert? Honestly I feel like you two should collaborate.

      Ftr, I often find @zeynep's work thoughtful and interesting. I don't mind if smart thoughtful people w/o credentials have influential platforms to communicate science ideas. I also don't mind @RMCarpiano critiquing how social media affects science communications. #MuddyTheLanes

      If people in j-comm can't be trusted to find the experts and help distill their perspectives, who can?

      To my read of her work, including ZT in the list with those others was quite misplaced.

      Having followed serious rxns to her work over past yr by lab sci & other areas wrt various pieces she has written plus my own criticisms that I made public & to her, I respectfully disagree. My list are a few examples that fit an influencer spectrum w/ common elements across it.

      Given that you wrote the piece, I'd be stunned if you didn't. But occasionally missing some details when communicating the perspectives from experts is far from the same as claiming to know better than the experts.

      I’m not communicating others’ perspectives. I do my own analyses. My work helped change mask policy globally, and it was my analyses not anyone else’s views. I’m published my analyses on airborne spread & co-authored paper in the Lancet. And so on. If there are errors, it’s mine.

      There is no predigested science for me to communicate—badly or not on things I work on. If that were the case, I wouldn’t bother with all this. But in that world the WHO wouldn’t take till December 2020 to recommend masks indoors or until 2021 to get airborne transmission right.

          So if there are any claims of errors in my pieces, they would be mine because they’re my analyses, and not due to some communication misunderstanding. Of course, everyone could make errors or be wrong, but my track record speaks for itself and I’m happy for any examination of it!
