I've decided that I can no longer take part in Twitter given the hatred & misinformation championed by its owner. Will miss connecting here with #SLAers, #medhum folks, & #HMImuseum Fellows. Let's connect here instead: https://t.co/qLSsbCbcMQ Will deactivate this account soon.

.@LizGaufberg and I were so thrilled to meet up with #HMImuseum fellows @whole_patients and @SsmRad for dinner last night. Both are doing such meaningful work, so proud to know them! #AAMC22

Arts and humanities folks at #AAMC22: come to the Friends of FRAHME knowledge sharing session at 4:30 in the Omni Hotel, Legends AB! Will be there with @LisaDHowley, @LizGaufberg and @Virginia_E_Bush; we’d love to see you! #medhum

Gorgeous exhibit on Asian textiles at the @fristartmuseum! Couple blocks from MCC, $15 to get in. These textiles will go back in storage for 20yrs after this in order to ensure they don’t get too damaged by light. Glad they are being preserved in this way. #aamc22

Dr. Joe Greer, Founding Dean of @RosemanMedicine & Gold Trustee, notes that in an effort to create humanistic physicians, his school has deliberately included many narrative & reflective courses:
“If you can’t tell a story, you can’t make a change."

Attending #AAMC22 in Nashville. Have had some really interesting discussions about race today. I’m noticing that compared to conferences a few years ago, seems like people are more willing to discuss tough issues & now have vocabulary with which to have more nuanced conversations

@Bedsidemedicine @TEDTalks @UABHeersink @StanfordMed25 Thanks for tagging me! Verghese’s book Cutting for Stone is one of my all time favorites so I’ll definitely watch this!

@desertlibrarian @moribajah @SLA_PAM @SLAhq Omg YAY I’m so glad you tweeted this! The year he was keynote was the year I chaired the conf!

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

#HMImuseum Fellows have headed over to @mfaboston for the afternoon! Here, Course Director @qzimmermann5 explains Visual Thinking Strategies to the group. @HarvardMacy

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

The first work of art the #HMImuseum Fellows are exploring is #valkryeimumbet at @maamboston by Vasconselos. This artwork can be a catalyst for conversation and inquiry around slavery in Massachusetts, the role of law in social change & the history of textiles.

A beautiful #HMImuseum welcome from @LizGaufberg to our 15 Fellows. She quotes Frederick Buechner: A calling is “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

Rainy start to our morning at #HMImuseum Fellowship! So excited to meet the Fellows I’ve been emailing with for six months! But man, I am so unused to going to in-person professional events, it’s so funny!

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

Retweeting this in light of our closing keynote from @trlwagner - great opportunity here for SLA members to support genderqueer populations in our host city. #sla2022

@saywhat32 Thanks for tweeting from the social justice session, Kevin!

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

Oooh! So cool to see my session sketch-noted! I love it @Amyodo, thanks for sharing! #sla2022

Sketchnote of the Social Justice in Charlotte session.
Thanks so much to DICE, @KnowldgeLinking and all the organisers and speakers for such a fantastic session #sla2022 #sketchnoting

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

DICE event today at 4:30 in convention ctr rm 207! The 4th Annual Social Justice session --"Social Justice in Charlotte: Gerrymandering" with speakers Courtney McClain & Mark Thomas (@engine143). Online recording available for #sla2022 registrants: https://t.co/mP5JkVbxQ7

Dr Nicole Cooke (@BakerChair) was a stellar keynote. She says she tries to incorporate education about mis-/dis-/mal-information into every course she teaches because it’s all around us. Find her slides at https://t.co/vXzbE1fH7i #sla2022

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

@mandosally @Amyodo It sounds a little froo-froo but I wonder if there's something about being in the same physical space as the speaker and receiving their energy and the energy of the audience that is more inspiring to the process.

[Brandy King, MLIS @KnowldgeLinking]

@diylibrarian Oh that's right! I did!
