The power of online tools for dissemination: social media, visual abstract, and beyond

Knowledge is power and we believe in a philosophy where all have access to knowledge. We live in a rapidly evolving environment and access to resources is paramount to keep the pace with scientific innovation. Social Media (SoMe) and digital learning tools provide a unique opportunity to reach an unlimited audience, and their value has been emphasized, particularly by the current pandemic [1]. In an unprecedented need to share knowledge rapidly, SoMe has flourished and in the post-pandemic world, it will continue to accommodate the emerging needs and realities. In addition to knowledge distribution, SoMe has the potential to establish meaningful connections beyond time or geographic restrictions and thereby fosters collaborative research. ESOT is embracing the continuous advancement in medical education. In this view, the ESOT Transplantation Learning Journey, (TLJ) 2.0, was delivered entirely online with great success, with the rapid data collection, analysis, and discussion for seven workstreams [2] facilitated by our SoMe channels.
