Methods for Determining Top Stem Cell Influencers on Twitter
These influencers above were determined using Topsy, a powerful website tool that delivers social analytics and trends, with the search executed 09-07-2015. The search term “#stemcells” was used, because hashtags identify key topics in the Twitter language system. Topsy’s “Sort by Relevance” tool was utilized, because it accounts for post activity, retweets, favorites, mentions, and other important criteria for gauging a user’s engagement and influence.
The leading Twitter influencer, Stem Cell News (@stemcellnews) has posted more than 45,000 tweets since joining Twitter in 2009 and has used the “#stemcells” hashtag 159 times in the past 30 days alone. It is also not surprising to see Fujifilm (@fujifilmus) at second place on this list, because the company just acquired induced pluripotent stem cell firm Cellular Dynamics International (CDI) for $307 million in March of 2015 and they are actively making known their interest and dedication to advances stem cell research technologies.
In third place, Stem Cell Blogs (@stemcellblogs) is a popular blog about stem cell research from a pro-life perspective. The honor of fourth place goes to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (@cirmnews), California’s stem cell agency that funds stem cell research that can lead to new therapies. In fifth place is Cord Blood Registry (@cordblood), the world’s largest cord blood bank that was recently acquired by AMAG Pharmaceuticals for $700 in June of 2015. The company stores stem cells present in umbilical cord blood, which is the reason that it is a leading educator on stem cell related topics.
Each of these Twitter influencers posts often about critical stem cell topics, which is how they have earned this top honor.
