#FrailtyFighter 2.0: International Edition–Especially for the ICFSR Congress 2023
We are bringing back our celebrated #FrailtyFighter social media campaign on Twitter! And we are proud to partner with the International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR) Congress to highlight global researchers in this space leading up to the ICFSR 2023 Conference in Toulouse, France, from March 22-24 as a key part of this effort. These Tweets will include a visual brief biography about these giants in frailty, sarcopenia, and resiliency research, as well as links to selected publications, and point out when their ICFSR presentation will take place.
“#FrailtyFighter 2.0: International Edition” launched on Monday, February 20, 2023 with content about the conference, to which Johns Hopkins University is sending six researchers to present: Drs. Karen Bandeen-Roche; Jeremy Walston; Jenna Mammen; Amal Wanigatunga; Qian-Li Xue; and Mr. Brian Buta. Also, Dr. Megan Huisingh-Scheetz from the University of Chicago will be presenting at the ICFSR conference; she contributed to Frailty Science’s Clinical Topic: Primary Care content. That brings up the number of Frailty Science team members presenting at ICFSR 2023 to seven!
Over the coming weeks leading up to the conference, we will Tweet about each member of our team presenting at ICFSR 2023 and their research, as well as promote ICFSR 2023 content about leading international frailty researchers, such as Dr. Leocadio Rodríguez Mañas (whom ICFSR will recognize with a Lifetime Achievement Award), and more keynote speakers and presenters.
The #FrailtyFighter social media campaign is a fabulous way to celebrate frailty scientists and their research, and we may continue the series after the ICFSR conference is over to raise awareness of more significant contributions in frailty science, and to recognize up-and-coming junior researchers in the field.
You are invited to participate!
To be considered for this effort, here’s what we need from you:
- Name and academic degrees
- Brief biography (36 words or fewer)
- Affiliated institutional logo
- Current head shot (vertical orientation)
Additionally, it is very nice to have meaningful content to generate more interest in the #FrailtyFighter Tweet about you, such as links to:
- Recent frailty research
- Future presentation that includes you
- Award or honor received
- News about you on frailty
- Anything else to related to frailty with which you are involved
We can help draft text for the Tweet itself to accompany the visual art if you like, and you are welcome to prepare draft text (up to 280 characters including links, etc.) if there is a particular angle you would like to promote in messaging.
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis.
Please send all content in one email to our communications specialist: tony.teano@jhu.edu
We hope you enjoy the #FrailtyFighter series and consider joining the cause to bring more attention on social media to this critical subspecialty in geriatric research and healthy aging, and your leadership to that purpose.
