Professional medical conferences over the past five years have seen an enormous increase in the use of Twitter in real-time, also known as "live-tweeting". At the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) 2015 annual meeting, 24 attendees (the authors) volunteered to participate in a live-tweet group, the #InSituPathologists. This group, along with other attendees, kept the world updated via Twitter about the happenings at the annual meeting. There were 6,524 #USCAP2015 tweets made by 662 individual Twitter users; these generated 5,869,323 unique impressions (potential tweet-views) over a 13-day time span encompassing the dates of the annual meeting. Herein we document the successful implementation of the first official USCAP annual meeting live-tweet group, including the pros/cons of live-tweeting and other experiences of the original #InSituPathologists group members. No prior peer-reviewed publications to our knowledge have described in depth the use of an organized group to "live-tweet" a pathology meeting. We believe our group to be the first of its kind in the field of pathology.
在过去五年中，专业医学会议上推特实时使用量大幅增加，即所谓的“现场发推”。在美国和加拿大病理学会（USCAP）2015年年会上，24名参会者（作者）自愿加入了一个现场发推小组#原位病理学家。该小组与其他参会者通过推特向全世界实时更新年会的情况。662名推特用户发布了6524条#USCAP2015推文；在涵盖年会日期的13天时间跨度内，这些推文产生了5869323次独立展示量（潜在推文浏览量）。在此，我们记录了USCAP首次官方年会现场发推小组的成功实施情况，包括现场发推的优缺点以及#原位病理学家小组原始成员的其他经历。据我们所知，此前没有经过同行评审的出版物深入描述过利用一个有组织的小组对病理会议进行“现场发推”的情况。我们认为我们的小组是病理学领域首个此类小组。
