These tweets were picked up by Health Science Center staff monitoring twitter on Monday and forwarded to folks in ATS and Medical School who could use them for future planning. But also, David Hotchkiss replied that he had a good conversation with @bestieverchad in person after the white coat ceremony, and had gathered a lot of helpful input that he could apply in future events.
David didn’t stop there, though — since @bestieverchad’s tweets were clearly directed to @uthscsa, a twitter reponse was appropriate… -
