No-one had #COVID19 expertise before 2020. So how do you translate what you did in before times?
For me - an ER doc & #publichealth researcher - behavioral interventions, digital health, clinical trials, clinical care are both critical pandemic response skills, & my "thing". https://twitter.com/SaskiaPopescu/status/1343642957971247105

Caveat: Many of us have built new areas of expertise during COVID.
Personally, I'd never worked on supply chains until, out of necessity, I cofounded @getusppe. I now know A LOT about logistics, 3PL services, & NIOSH certification
It's sometimes ok for folks to claim new foci.

Another caveat: Many of us have temporarily stopped talking alot about some areas of our work, even if it informs our #COVID19 work.
(Did you know that much of my research is on #gunviolence prevention? Huge overlap, believe it or not, but I don't tweet abt it a lot right now)

Ultimately, the best way to destroy trust in expertise is to not acknowledge the limits of your vision.
I'm not an immunologist.
Or an oncologist.
Or a ventilation expert.
Or many other things.
I'm thankful for those who are.

And as someone who loves #scicomm, I can both honor others' strengths & help translate them for general consumption.
Expertise matters - and the worst thing is for experts to denigrate other experts. We should lift each other up.

Thank you @SaskiaPopescu for the challenge :)
