Abstract

Abstract: Gender inequities negatively impact productivity and career advancement for women. Social media platforms like Twitter can be used to achieve greater parity and address underrepresentation by providing a medium for education, research and mentorship, however, it is unknown how it may contribute to gender inequity. Our aim was to examine gender interactions during a nephrology medical conference.
