Social media as a potential knowledge translation tool to disseminate research has been around for more than two decades, and the popularity of platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are on the rise.

InMotion highlights the shortlisted applicants for the Physiotherapy Research Foundation Pitchfest, who have been invited to pitch their ideas to a judging panel on the Friday morning of the TRANSFORM 2019 conference. James O’Loghlin, previously from The New Inventors on ABC TV, will emcee the session, and the successful pitch will be awarded $15,000.
