In a new paper, a team of researchers from HMS, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital studied posts on Twitter to examine how the speed and content of tweets compared with communication over more official channels. Alicia Quesnel, HMS instructor in otology and laryngology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, is leading the follow-up of patients with hearing loss and Rumi Chunara, HMS instructor in pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital, is one of the authors of the new study.
