What is social media?
It is the use of technology combined with social interaction to collaborate, create and share.
Learn
"Simply put, social media has allowed me to access ideas, thoughts and opinions I would never have been able to before."
Prajesh Narendra Chhanabhai, @Zimbarama, PhD Candidate, University of Otago; New Zealand
Connect & Collaborate
"Social media doesn’t just help me in my research, it totally changed the way I interact with collaborators."
Bertalan Meskó, @Berci, Physician, Founder of Webicina.com; Hungary
Mike Evans, @docmikeevans, Family Physician, Founder of Health Design Lab; Canada
Inform & influence
"People use social networking for health. We need to connect, inform and inspire them to affect change."
