@VA_CHOIR @ranielwy @seppo_rinne @BBokhour @allenlgifford @McinnesKeith @alisonleibo @slcmd Great restaurant choice! We ate family style... Very appropriate for our group.

@jhb603 @AcademyHealth @feljardali I'm definitely thinking about what this means for VA research! Hope to hear from inspired colleagues in the Twittersphere.

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@PhdRobinson @slrshimada With sunglasses and smiles! Looks like fun...!

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Some @VA_CHOIR EPCC team leads sharing guidance for research partnerships. Key: bidirectional feedback early and often, rapid analysis, accessible recommendations. Convo continued well after the #ARM23 panel presentation.

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Thanks for the shoutout, @IlonaVFridman and @ranielwy. And thanks #ARM23 for introducing us to new colleagues outside VA.

[Dr. Rani Elwy (she/her) @ranielwy]

Our @VA_CHOIR colleague @AnnaMBarker is indeed amazing! Love this #ARM23 shoutout! @vahsrd

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Pictures don't lie. We had so much fun sharing our favorite subjects at the ARM#23 poster session yesterday! @VA_CHOIR

[Dr. Rani Elwy (she/her) @ranielwy]

What fun learning even more about @VA_CHOIR colleagues’ awesome work at the #ARM23 afternoon poster session! Creating models of patient-centered care, perceptions of cancer screenings, and providers’ beliefs of Whole Health in primary and mental healthcare. @jhb603 @vahsrd

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@vahsrd Yay Alison!

[Dr. Rani Elwy (she/her) @ranielwy]

Love #ARM2023 where Sat 8 AM means a full house of workshop attendees discussing policy-practice-research partnerships in a Learning Health System, using the @VeteransHealth Whole Health System of Care transformation as a case study. Thrilled to have our partners at the table!

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@adenacb @VA_CHOIR @AcademyHealth In retreat to plan charging ahead... Go team #EPCC!

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Surely this isn't meant for us, @RendaWiener and @GemmaeFix.

Academics agreeing to exciting new papers & projects…

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@USHVHA So exciting! I'd love to see a farmers market on every VA campus. Especially @VA_CHOIR in Bedford MA! Happy to help make that a reality.

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@ekaterinanthro @marlaclayman Two hearts! One for Marla's presentation and a 2nd for your summary. :)

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

My people @VA_CHOIR celebrate almost every milestone with chocolate cake! Yum!

[Gemmae Fix @GemmaeFix]

What a joy to have worked w/ @VA_CHOIR postdoc @JenesseKaitz who brought creative ideas to our suite of projects together. While I'm sad to say goodbye, I'm beyond thrilled she'll stay in my VA orbit. Looking forward to watching your work grow!

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@GemmaeFix @VA_CHOIR @JenesseKaitz @slcmd @BBokhour Good luck and have fun on your next adventure, @JenesseKaitz !

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@MeganMc_MedAnth @ranielwy @SJLandes @seattlechildren Don't plug it in! You'll short our a/c!

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@EvaWoodwardPhD @ranielwy @GemmaeFix I get it! My mom taught me to avoid doctors. These early lessons are hard to unlearn. And a reminder how valuable it is to show others the way.

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@ranielwy @EvaWoodwardPhD @GemmaeFix Indeed we do, thanks @ranielwy! This booklet was developed by Veterans to encourage their peers to actively engage in clinical conversations, especially to participate in shared decision-making for lung cancer screening. https://t.co/xiqDbpMAd6

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Such exciting work! And I love that participants in this first step also made methods recommendations for the future study. They're the experts.

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@ekaterinanthro If the other room isn't the kitchen or bathroom, you can keep that door closed for a very long time!

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

@AssumeNormality That's actually very helpful... Not ready to stop ranting against Twitter for messing with my brain, but I may borrow that! Very respectfully. v/r

[Anna Barker @AnnaMBarker]

Twitter, what have you done to me? I can no longer sign an email by saying "Best," without squirming. I am left only with "Thanks," no matter the situation. Thanks.
