Maylyn Martinez, MD, recently rejoined Twitter to post about her first peer-reviewed publication and shared the advice one of us gave her: “@FutureDocs warned: as a Hispanic woman researcher, it’s KEY to have a platform to amplify my work, making it more impactful, helping career/promotions.”
We are not the only ones with this advice. A New England Journal of Medicine perspective highlighted social media as a way to enhance professional and career opportunities for women.
This week, our own study in JAMA Network Open challenges these assumptions.
