@Chikagirl I am currently doing a school project looking into obesity bias and would love to hear from your expertise!

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@Chikagirl I am a uni student researching weight stigma in healthcare settings and would appreciate your insight. How can we create a more inclusive and compassionate healthcare system for all body types? Share your thoughts and experiences with us #EndWeightStigma

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

The issue I am researching is weight bias. To combat this in the public sphere and healthcare sector, we can support clinicians to be educators and advocates by introducing workshops such as the one below:

Obesity Action Coalition: https://t.co/AlSLdv0Xrq This group advocates for issues surrounding obesity stigma and bias and tries to implement measures that would help reduce its prevalence in North America

#EM203Robin thus far, this course has been very engaging and has covered interesting topics I probably would have never looked into myself, such as the different learning theories.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203Kfettes A problem that may be interesting to look into could be, what are the major disabilities that cause barriers to education, and how might these be removed.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203MaylenaM Based on your concept map, a problem to investigate further may be, how effective is advertising against vaping for young adults in Canada, and how it could it be improved.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203IAlla Love the concept map! (LOL, I also did obesity as my topic). I thought it would be interesting for you to elaborate on the issue of how food insecurity affects people of lower SES.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203JackSloan Another learning style we talked about, hands on learning, is really appealing because it emphasizes the importance of trial and error while on the road to success.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@em203aijaz For this lesson, I knitted a 5x5 square, while I also have not done in many years so it was interesting and slightly frustrating.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203JDegazio I am also enjoying the course, especially the fact that one is able to connect with classmates through platforms like Twitter, as opposed to solely traditionally used discussion posts.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203IAlla I agree with liking the hands-on approach this course takes on. It allows one to learn concepts in a different way than the traditional format.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

@EM203JKrawczyk I feel quite the same. Personally, before the course I was unaware there were that many learning theories.

[Nichole Sanchez Diaz @EM203Nsanchezd]

Thus far, this course has elaborated on the many different ways there are to learn. I appreciate this approach because it allows students to recognize they are not at fault if they do not learn best from standardized methods. #EM203
