Here's why... 1. **All the big players are on Twitter.** Twitter allows you access to the best journals (PRS, JPRAS, JHS) or most the influential figures in plastic surgery (Rod Rohrich, Jeff Janis, and of course P'Fella lol). **2\. It's always up-to-date** Twitter is built on the premise that you will also find the most up-to-date information. So if you are active enough, you'll get the journals, the events. and the clinical discussions. **3\. The information finds you** It's easy to give out about the "algorithm". But, it does get you the information you're interested in. When P'Fella logs in, the only thing on the feed is evidence-based discussions. No trolls! (thank god). **Here's a guide on how to use Twitter properly** > Twitter is an amazing free medical journal. > If you use it right, it's quite a powerful platform. > > Here are 3 features P'Fella uses to keep up-to-date.
