"But medicine, including pathology, has not generally mirrored the level of leadership involvement seen

in law or politics; in fact, an overview of Texas physicians showed that pathologists are much less involved with Twitter than the vast majority of their nonpathologist colleagues.12 Indeed, some physicians still doubt social media’s utility.13 But medicine should be more involved, and pathology could lead the way by actively encouraging its leaders to actively involve themselves in social media."
