Powerful groups\u2014both corporate and voluntary\u2014deploy effective media strategies to undermine scientific claims that run counter to their interests. And now personalisation of social media means that we exist in a \u201cfilter bubble\u201d in which we never see things we don\u2019t already like. \u201cIntellectual pudding,\u201d when what we need is \u201cvegetables\u201d (Pariser 2011). In an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clickbait\">era of clickbait<\/a>, trolling, and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sockpuppet_(Internet)\">sockpuppets<\/a>, what chance does good quality evidence stand?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth remembering that the printing press was once decried as an agent of unreliable knowledge just as Twitter and Facebook are now (Crick 2004). Increasing numbers of (especially) young people don\u2019t read newspapers and don\u2019t watch broadcast news (Gottfried 2016). The internet is their first port of call for knowledge, and whether we like it or not, blog content, and other dynamic media are most likely to appear at the top of search engines and in our inboxes. And as we know, almost nobody goes beyond the first page of Google results (Chitika Insights 2013).<\/p>\n<p>So, dispiriting as it might seem to some of us, we have no option but to engage with social media. Thankfully, it\u2019s not hard, and lots of people are working hard to bring scientific evidence into this world. Encouragingly, the signs are that there is an appetite out there for accessible and reliable messages about health care.<\/p>\n<p>Accessibility is key in our time-poor lives, but social media has been designed with that as a primary focus. Anyone with a smartphone can sign up for free and create a meaningful presence within minutes. What\u2019s more, the bite-sized nature of tweets and other social posts lend themselves perfectly to brief moments during the day that need filling.<\/p>\n<p>Published research has always been unusable, and despite the best efforts of groups like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.equator-network.org\/\">EQUATOR Network<\/a>, it is not improving fast. If we are serious about closing the gap between research and practice we need to dramatically improve the way important new evidence is communicated to the people who need it most.<\/p>\n<p>Blogs and social media provide two vital layers of content between the research evidence and frontline practitioners. Most busy clinicians have very few opportunities each week to read a full paper, but they do have lots of spare 5-minute breaks and even more spare 5-second breaks. Reading a tweet takes 5 seconds and can alert us to an important new piece of information. Reading a blog takes 5 minutes and can summarise a reliable and clinically relevant piece of evidence, but also start to explore some of the strengths and limitations of that evidence and how it should impact on practice.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence Live 2016 Preconference Workshop 21st June: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxforduniversitystores.co.uk\/browse\/extra_info.asp?compid=1&amp;modid=5&amp;deptid=217&amp;catid=204&amp;prodid=1197\">Making Evidence Live &#8211; An introduction to Social Media\/Blogging Workshop<\/a>.
