Lightning Tweets
If you have been invited to give a Lightning Tweet, here are some rules and tips:
You must only share one Tweet about your research during your 5 minute timeslot
The Tweet must start with the lightning emoji âš¡, followed by the conference hashtag #TropiCon21. You are free to use other hashtags as well!
You may wish to include the names or Twitter handles of co-authors in your Tweet (or add this as a comment underneath your lightning Tweet)
Your Tweet is limited to 280 characters, but we encourage creative use of media such as pictures, gifs, figures, videos, QR codes, posters...This way you can fit much more information into your Tweet! (Note only one of these can be included in your Tweet)
We recommend each image has an accompanying description. This can be done by clicking 'Add description' after inserting a photo. More details on how to set image descriptions can be found online (https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/picture-descriptions)
You may choose to schedule your Tweet (e.g. by using TweetDeck or Hootsuite), but it's a good idea to be available at the time for questions, if possible. Your lightning Tweet will be retweeted by @BES_Tropical and @BESConservation to help your research reach a wide audience
