Made for the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research by Brian Glanz @brianglanz. We held a workshop in three parts, 1: training "From Zero to Twitter," 2: panel discussion "Crisis and Controversy, How Not to Go Viral," and 3: "Proving Twitter is Worth Your Time" on altmetrics. The hashtag was #sharebr for 'share biomedical research'.
