“…Including light-hearted drawings, emojis, gifs, and other enhancing features in posts (where appropriate) is excellent for pathologists to consider. Food eponyms are commonplace in pathology too, 12 and can be a great way to highlight common pathologic findings that may benefit trainees and help make the material more accessible to the public. That said, with the potential for the public to read our posts, pausing to be certain that the material is respectful is a critical step.…”

The use of social media in pathology has broadly had a positive impact on pathology education and outreach with the frequent posting of high-quality educational material of potential value to trainees, practicing pathologists, and other clinical and laboratory specialists. These posts are also of potential utility and interest to members of the public, who are now more than ever able to gain a window into the field and the role of pathologists in their medical care. There can be a lighthearted aspect to teaching material with the use of food items/analogies, emojis, or other descriptors, which may cross over into the classroom. However, when pathology discussion is taken to a public forum, such as on Twitter (parent company: X Corp.), there is the potential for posted material to be misunderstood, such as when certain emojis or adjectives may be used to describe a human disease state or patient sample. The authors present examples of potential areas of caution, suggestions of how to create a positive impact, and brief guidelines for social media etiquette on #PathTwitter that may apply to other social media platforms widely used by pathologists (including, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and KiKo). While the points discussed here may be common knowledge and well-known to pathologists who use social media for virtual medical education, the concerns mentioned here (such as using language like “beautiful” to describe abnormal mitotic figures and cancer cells) still exist and, henceforth, bear reinforcing.

“…Results: A literature search yielded 96 medical alimentary analogies. [1][2][3] Culinary creations resembling pathology specimens, based on selected alimentary analogies were successfully produced, sampled, consumed and digested by staff at our institution. Conclusions: Alimentary analogies in pathology can be further explored through culinary creations, which not only serve to satisfy the pathologist's hunger for knowledge, but also as a valuable learning and communication tool in the diagnostic process.…”
