I've been limiting my time on Twitter -- for folks who want to stay connected in the water space, I will be using my LinkedIn for updates and posts, etc. I'm happy to connect with you! https://t.co/sib5ieks9D

[miriam hacker @miriamhacker1]

I'll be honest -- Twitter has been an experiment for me as a potential way to connect with folks in water, hear what's going on and to communicate out. And to some degree it works amazing for that purpose... and it also can be a lot.

@danielle_zoe USPHS is a non-military uniformed response to disasters, mostly domestic. They have the full service as well as reserve. Occupations are typically from a medical background but they’re also open to others for roles like engineering, etc.

How are others handling this in their work?

[miriam hacker @miriamhacker1]

Don’t get me wrong, it helps to understand what themes are cross-cutting by tracking relative frequency, but be careful if your qualitative data is trying too hard to be quantitative.

[miriam hacker @miriamhacker1]

In an effort to cater to the data scientists, you might miss the underlying narratives and stories and themes that aren’t going to be prominent in your frequency tables. It’s finding the balance of justifying emergent themes but also making space for quieter narratives.

@gregspierce Excited for that recording!

Every time there’s a concern about water quality, someone gets on TV and drinks a glass for the cameras …. Is there any work that shows if this is actually helpful for perceptions and acceptance?

@tbcorbin Congratulations!!!

#UMC2023 through a coffee lens. Having spots in walking distance was super great to get out and see the surrounding area… and to process all the talks during the sessions. These were just a few- Sacramento was full of surprises!

🧵In 1986, we hired our first female construction laborers.

Today Tiffany Solivan, Tori Boria, Chrystal Pringle, Ashlee Cavanaugh, and June Allison fill those boots 🥾. #WomensHistoryMonth #TBT

And in the strategic planning- sounds silly but so encouraging to hear that there’s a messy middle where an org is getting its ducks in a row, but eventually there’s some stability in the process.

A little photo dump from Day 1 of #UMC2023 … big focus was on workforce recruitment and strategic planning to help with utility direction and employee retention.

[miriam hacker @miriamhacker1]

It was really interesting to hear about an upgrading project in Prince William County that used retrofitting as an opportunity to engage staff and recruit new folks through a progressive design/build.
