@JamesADuffy Our puppy is unfazed as well! We had to close the windows because the rain was coming in horizontally. Glad you’re making the most of it! Stay safe

@_kim_collett The 1-on-1 means the students feel like they have a connection to actual librarian, so more likely to reach out for help in future classes/assignments. Think through ways to help students that struggle with reading articles (maybe a writing center contact to help)?

[Amy Leaphart @grittyinsc]

@_kim_collett So much good stuff here! Lots of undergrads approach with varied levels of understanding of searches and also varied confidence reading the research they will find. Our ref librarians created a tutorial (so we do flipped) and then meet 1-on-1 with my students- AMAZING. 1/2

@SwehlaTessa Huh- did we have parallel watching this weekend? Spider-Man and peacemaker?

[Amy Leaphart @grittyinsc]

@jorowags Thank you for sharing! Your idea and others in the thread are just what I needed - some wintertime inspiration between semesters and possible addition to the spring. Will do attribution- would you like any additional follow up?

[Amy Leaphart @grittyinsc]

@sam_morris9 @SwehlaTessa @MizMcCoy Great article! So true-we need to take the time to think deeply, study, and learn all we can and apply knowledge/increase awareness. There’s much to take away from this past year regarding health. I’ve seen profound impact on so many college students.

@k_brianas I know, right! Eye strain is no joke ...2020 meant glasses for me ☹️

[Amy Leaphart @grittyinsc]

So excited to see all these student leaders working and learning together! #COURAGENSLS @theNSLS

@thevinayakjain @MizMcCoy @DukeHHL @HealthHums @HumanitiesUc @MHHS_IUPUI Thank you for responding! Many see compelling reasons for med hum in pre-professional & prof spaces- I think our best outcomes will be when both providers & future patients have been able to think through health & medical humanities early on. Your thoughts help reinforce this!

Academic Twitter: Help! Working on presentation about NEED for undergrad Health/Med Humanities classes. Arguing that EARLY exposure to complexities of health/health sys is VITAL for students to ADVOCATE for self/family/friends (b/c once recognize need, already mired in system)1/3

[Amy Leaphart @grittyinsc]

Please share for help getting request to anyone teaching health/health related topics to undergraduates (or students you know that might want to respond). DMs or tweets welcome- #medicalhumanities #medhums @MizMcCoy @DukeHHL @HealthHums @HumanitiesUc @MHHS_IUPUI 3/3
