@TrainLinkWest Is the 427 to Dubbo running?

[Liam Downing @LiamDowning]

@TrainLinkWest Thanks, I am currently on a train which station staff indicated in Blacktown was travelling to Lithgow but is only going to Katoomba. I am trying to get to Bathurst. How should I do that?

[Liam Downing @LiamDowning]

@T1SydneyTrains Will the 4:23am from Central to Lithgow be running today?

@billisdoing OK dangit now the FOMO is hitting critical levels - have fun #AES22ADL attendees!

[Liam Downing @LiamDowning]

@patriciajrogers @KerynHassall There's so much extant theory and thinking in evaluation that it would be remiss of any evaluator to not be informed by it in every day of their work. Building that thinking into eval design and conduct is absolutely key. Great thread by @KerrynHassall

[Liam Downing @LiamDowning]

@WePublicHealth Yes, but the right types of evaluation!

[Liam Downing @LiamDowning]

@GiuliaCapuzzo_ @esckerdo Really interested in the intersection here between realist and developmental evaluation!
