wrt TikTok I assume the poll just asked what other platforms you are on, not if you are posting career related things on the platform. Most grad students are in their 20s and probably use TikTok for entertainment.

Okay. That’s a sensible explanation. Thanks!

I was wondering why the hell a researcher would use a video platform!

There are some really good scientists using TikTok to spread better science literacy, which is great. But obviously they aren't presenting high level academic research data, it's not suited to that at all.
