Several people told me they couldn’t find the thread, didn’t know how Twitter or threads work, and so on.
Sorry about that y’all. The challenge of communication is often in the assumptions you make, and I made a bunch in that last email.
To clarify for anyone who was confused, do this:
Click this link to open the Twitter thread
The first post in the thread is this:
summary of this paper on the top 10 strongest findings in behavioral genetics
strap in, its fascinating stuff
but first, a definition you need to know...Below that text is a picture of a journal. Scroll past that picture. You can click it if you want to read the full paper I’m summarizing.
The next tweet in the thread starts with “a crucial word in 🧬 context is heritability”. Keep reading there.
This brings up a more general question about Twitter content: should I continue to link out to Twitter for the threads I write, or copy the text into the newsletter itself?
Some of you don’t use Twitter, and would prefer the threads inlined. Others do, and want to see the threads in their natural habitat (which includes quoted tweets, pics and videos, replies from others, and so on). Of course, I could also do both.
Sounds like its time for a vote! Click your choice below:
A. Only link to Twitter threads (but I don’t mind if you also copy the text into the email)
B. Only link to Twitter threads (and I actively don’t want the text in the email)
C. Don’t link, just copy the thread directly into the email
D. Both! Copy text into email and link to Twitter
E. Neither! Keep your tweeting and your newsletter separate
Cheers and sorry for all the emails,
Grin
