@bradiems @RogersHelps I spent some time chatting with them this afternoon, and yes was offered a one time $30 credit. That doesn’t even begin... obviously they’ve lost my business.

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

First month in self isolation, living rurally and working and schooling from home @Rogers internet Rocket Hub bill, $581! Completely unacceptable.

[Bradi Watson @bradiems]

@Rogers Why is the Rocket Hub not included in the exclusions for data overages? The rural areas of Ontario don't have many other options except the cell based services. Do better

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@bradiems @RogersHelps Did you ever get this resolved, Bradi? I just got my @Rogers bill for the month. $581 for our first month in self-isolation, working and schooling from home. We also live rurally, and have limited options. This is completely unacceptable.

A brilliant, and living (continuously updated) evidence map depicting the current evidence on covid-19 partitioned into broad domains for easy exploration.

I joined @EPPICentre 25 years ago today, before it even had a name! But it did have @James_M_Thomas It's been an amazing journey & this is the latest exciting work: a #COVID19 Living Evidence Map https://t.co/EAnpqMMUAD

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@profsandyoliver @EPPICentre @James_M_Thomas This is brilliant!

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

Thank you #perthbia for a great welcome to the Christmas season! #shoplocal

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

A great example of research that is needed to understand when and how machine learning can reduce screening burden, without impacting the systematic review results . Even less articles would be missed with other article identification strategies, such as contacting experts.

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

A great example of the potential of citizen science to increase efficiency in the evidence synthesis process. Congratulations @cochrane_crowd, and citizens!

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@MGVanstone Well done, Meredith! Exciting! Congratulations.

[Michelle Mujoomdar @M_Mujoomdar]

We're hiring for a Scientific Advisor! I can't offer one of these stylish desks or title plates that we saw at the @Diefenbunker last week, but you will get to work with @Weeks2Weeks @deirdredejean @iliketobike2 + other fantastic @CADTH_ACMTS colleagues! https://t.co/T1hqaPItRb

Please consider retweeting the original to this thread. And please feel free to DM me with any questions, comments, concerns, etc. I'll do my best to answer questions that fall within my scope! ❤️

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@AndrewB007h Yes! But, with a much different approach I'm sure you will agree @AndrewB007h

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@MGVanstone @majiduma Looking forward to the publication! Congrats. The presentation was a great teaser! #HTAiVancouver2018

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@MGVanstone @majiduma @CADTH_ACMTS Despite a sore throat and need to rest, @majiduma's presentation on critical appraisal tools for qualitative evidence synthesis generates discussion about the use and way forward for quality appraisal (and reporting) of qualitative research in HTA. #HTAiVancouver2018

[Laura Weeks @Weeks2Weeks]

@MGVanstone @AndrewB007h It might just have to be, otherwise we risk not providing decision makers with any qualitative evidence to inform their decisions. Instead I think we have our work cut out to ensure the "short cuts" we follow are the right ones for qualitative, versus clinical, rapid reviews.
