Why should researchers be on X/Twitter?

X/Twitter is the primary platform for academic discourse, conference networking, and research dissemination. Your bio link gives followers a permanent home for your publications and professional information.

How do I promote my research on X without self-promotion fatigue?

Share genuine insights from your research, engage in conversations, and provide value to your academic community. Your bio link serves as a passive way for interested people to find your work without constant promotion.
