In this workshop (Master in Translational Medicine-MSc, University of Barcelona's Faculty of Medicine-Hospital Clínic, 15 March 2017) I summarised the benefits which can be gained from use of social media (specially blogs, Twitter and other socialnetwork sites) to support research activities, and I provided examples of these innovative emerging resources as tools for scientific communication related to translational medicine, as well as discussed their implications for digital scholarship. Structure of the lecture: Introduction, Active listening, Blogging, Microblogging, Networking, Sharing, Health 2.0, The ten commandments, To deepen, Conclusions
