Any easy way to stream the tweet chat for the first #GeriMedJC

Gearing up for the first Geriatric Medicine Journal Club tweet chat, #GeriMedJC, and need any easy way to follow and engage in the conversation?

Try TChat.io and log in using your Twitter account. 

Enter the hashtag #GeriMedJC a few minutes before the chat. This program filters out all other tweets so you can focus on discussing this one topic.

Every tweet anyone publishes with the hashtag #GeriMedJC, will show-up in the stream. Any tweet you type in the box will have #GeriMedJC added to the back of it, so other people using this (or similar programs) will be able to see your tweet even though they may not follow you.

Make sure you read the two chosen articles ahead of time:

Long article (45 minutes is dedicated to discussion in the live version of the journal club):
The CAM-S: development and validation of a new scoring system for delirium severity in 2 cohorts. Ann Intern Med. 2014 Apr 15;160(8):526-33.
