Brush off your hashtags and practice condensing your thoughts to 140 characters (or is that 280 now?), as Carolyn and Brian are joined by fellow evaluation consultant Dana Wanzer to talk Twitter. We chat about how we’ve used the platform to build community, our stand-out moments on Twitter, and of course our favourite memes (#omgmqp for starters). Plus, can evaluation benefit from more cute animal pics? Spoiler alert: the answer is yes.

- Dana:
- #eval is not applied research. It may use its methodologies, but eval is more than that. (Most likes and most retweets)
- Carolyn:
- Brian:
- My take-away from #EvalC17 so far: we as evaluators do not work in a vacuum – we must attend to history and culture including our own (Most likes)
- Kocsis: Think about your power as an evaluator – you choose whose voices are emphasized. Knowledge and power relations intertwined #evalC17 (Most retweets)
- Cabaj: One approach to contribution analysis is the General Elimination Method, aka The Detective. Can I claim a deerstalker hat as a business expense? #ECISask2017 (personal favourite)
