Now for intermediate skills, incl. social norms & getting noticed. I addressed a few unwritten rules for interacting on Twitter but also took ?s here since I have the curse of knowledge!

We then shift into @psylovich portion on creating threads for your own research!
Even as a seasoned Tweep, I learned A LOT about how to compose better threads (incl. this one... can you tell?)! Slides on the OSF & if she does a thread on those, I'll link that below! (7/7)
