The European Research Executive Agency asked two Horizon EU projects this question in an interview and both projects confirmed that social media is an effective tool to communicate about research!
Furthermore, the projects explained how social media can contribute to the uptake and dissemination of research results. It can also help build networks with like-minded projects, researchers, policy-makers, and other interested partners.
