I can see that! At that size, face-to-face outreach is better. Live-tweeting really needs a critical mass of 300-plus attendees. If you search for ancient hashtags still on Twitter like #SciWri18 #AGU11 #SciO10 or evergreen ones like #AAASmeetings, you can get a sense of this in action.

At #sciwri18 Kathleen Hall Jamieson recommends ditching “fake news” and using “viral deception” instead. Like the other VD, it’s bad to catch and bad to pass on. But it can also be stopped.

Hey Boston — and #SciWri18 — join @tomzellerjr @Meeratweets and @eapsMIT’s Susan Solomon for a conversation on battling and reporting on climate change at @Northeastern. Wednesday, October 24, 6pm.

Same. Enjoy y’all #SciWri18 twitter.com/shanpalus/status/1050430...

Hey, fellow science scribes: #sciwri18 is open for registration. See you in DC! https://sciencewriters2018.org/
