This review describes how Twitter is currently used by laboratory professionals for education, research, and networking. This platform has a global audience. It enables users to post information publicly, easily, rapidly, and free of charge. The absence of hierarchies enables interactions that may not be feasible offline. Laboratory professionals teach thousands of people using text, images, polls, and videos. Academic discussion flourishes without paywalls. Published research is shared faster than ever before, articles are discussed in online journal clubs, and research collaborations are facilitated. Pathologists network globally and make new friends within and beyond their specialty. Pathology departments and residency programs showcase trainees and faculty and celebrate graduations. As users in one time zone go to bed, others who are just waking up begin to read and tweet, creating a 24/7/365 live global online conference. We encourage others to plug into the power of Twitter, the network that never sleeps.
这篇综述介绍了实验室专业人员如何利用 Twitter 进行教育、研究和建立联系。这个平台拥有全球受众。它使用户能够轻松、快速且免费地公开发布信息。没有等级制度的限制使得在线下可能无法实现的互动成为可能。实验室专业人员通过文字、图片、投票和视频等方式教授成千上万的人。学术讨论蓬勃发展，没有付费墙。发表的研究比以往任何时候都更快地被分享，文章在在线期刊俱乐部中进行讨论，研究合作得到促进。病理学家在全球范围内建立联系，并在自己的专业领域内外结交新朋友。病理科部门和住院医师项目展示学员和教职员工，并庆祝毕业。当一个时区的用户入睡时，其他刚刚醒来的用户开始阅读和发推，创建了一个 24/7/365 实时在线全球会议。我们鼓励其他人利用 Twitter 的力量，这个永不眠的网络。
