Hey @McMasterGHO MSc students: Remember the paper in Research Methods class by Cleaver et al on CCGHR Principles? Well, here he is sharing research done in collab with @ManipalUni where you will be headed in April. Worlds colliding! Always great to see your work, Shaun.

Such interesting work, @ManafZargoush! Our @McMasterGHO students will learn so much in your "Analytics and Decision Making in Healthcare" course next term! Wish I could join them...

[McMaster University @McMasterU]

"Are you sure you don't have a background in medicine?" @ManafZargoush gets that a lot. He's tackling #HallwayMedicine, loss of #Mobility and #Hypertension treatment. And he's doing it with math. #BrighterWorld | @DeGrooteBiz | @MIRAMcMaster https://t.co/H42lpVwSLI

This is the only hierarchy of evidence that matters. Seriously, accept no substitutes.

@dponka @CFPCBesrour Indeed! Thanks for coming to my talk at #CCGH2019. Hope you’re having a good conference.

Having grown up in Hamilton, moved away for a long time, and now back working in Hamilton...and moving back to live in the new year (from Toronto) - this sketch hits all the feels.

@DerekManis Ah, fab. Thanks!

Oh, the irony. I clicked-through to read this article and it's behind a paywall. Can anyone summarize main points in 280 characters, pls? #openaccess

[Deborah DiLiberto @DiLibertoD]

@Cheriewoolmer Thanks, Cherie. Sound advice!! Since this reply is a full week later, I guess I'm not yet a risk of taking-over-life syndrome. But perhaps I am at risk of irrelevance.

[Deborah DiLiberto @DiLibertoD]

Trying to tweet more so thought I'd respond to others' tweets

Then I am told about replies which are different than retweets

Tried a reply & it worked!

But now questioning all previous tweets

Wondering if this is endearing or embarrassing

Wondering how I figure it all out?

[Deborah DiLiberto @DiLibertoD]

@purvamehta26 Really?!? I have so much to learn!

[McMaster GHO @McMasterGHO]

Upcoming lecture to focus on cultural safety in health policy. We're delighted to welcome Jane Mills, Pro Vice-Chancellor, College of Health at New Zealand’s Massey University. Oct. 29 from 8:30 – 10:20 a.m. in MDCL 1309. https://t.co/Xbe52JC66C

@_alice_evans Realized in my large interdisciplinary research methods course with diverse readings that students didn't know *how* to read the readings. I now give a few questions to help focus students when reading, then we discuss questions in seminar. And they get participation marks!

[Deborah DiLiberto @DiLibertoD]

Yes @HilaryMatfess @cobrienudry, much needed; could have used it myself! I give a talk to new MSc students at @McMasterU for @McMasterGHO on ‘How to Ace Grad School’ covering: personal motivation, priority/time management, helpful resources (ie ref managers). Also applies to PhD.

Yes, spot on @_alice_evans and @llmunro. On the first day of my @McMasterGHO research methods course, I had students read out some advice from last year's students inclduing: "Don't be afraid to speak up during lecture and seminars", as well as some other useful bits:

[Alice Evans @_alice_evans]

I tell my students it’s a matter of priorities

1) ask questions, risk feeling embarrassed in this group, improve ur understanding, ace the course

2) stay quiet, don’t correct errors, under-perform

Their call

Plus I really try to make sure everyone feels happy to 🙋‍♀️

[Deborah DiLiberto @DiLibertoD]

Amazing. Thanks for your hard work @sham_l4l. Proud to be an alumna of @LSHTM, an institution that supports its staff to do this type of vital work when and where it's needed most.

I went to support the largest ever #Ebola outbreak in #DRC. An honour to help @MinSanteRDC,@OMSRDCONGO, @WHO,@ORK_LSHTM a motivated & committed team 24/7. My weeks of #Epi are over, the response continues & the outbreak is complex, but the resolve is strong. @lshtm @LSHTM_Crises
