Hi everyone! The STC HealthMed SIG has been on a bit of a hiatus and is in need of new leadership. Anyone interested in playing an active role in shaping this group? If so, please send a message, and we can get a conversation going. @STC_Summit #stc2020 #stc20

@Luana_Shafer Agreed with all of the above!!! It is really hard, but you are ready for it! And enjoy it all too—new people, profs, so much learning. Also football games!! PhD life isn’t all work! Take some fun in too!

On student education needs today: students don’t just need new tools but also need to learn how to “dig deep” when addressing problems. Students need to ask and answer questions like: What are we really doing here? What are the opportunities to impact the deeper layers? #stc19

[Bernard Aschwanden @aschwanden4stc]

If you are at #stc19 and available Monday night, remember that the Annual Business Meeting needs you. The @stc_org is as strong as the membership and attending lets you hear from, and speak to, the Board of Directors about the year gone by and the year ahead. Please attend.

Keynote by @morville at #stc19 on information architecture and user experience. The man knows how to tell a story...

[STC HealthMed @STCHealthMed]

At #stc19? Interested in health and medicine? Stop by the @GMUPhDWR booth or ask a HealthMed member for some swag!!!

[STC HealthMed @STCHealthMed]

Hmm interesting query. Mental pain in itself can cause physical symptoms. What does everyone else think? #medrhet

[STC HealthMed @STCHealthMed]

Now that #attwcon and #4c19 are wrapping up, what was your most enlightening experience? What presentation will you carry with you into your own work?

The #StrengthsInProgress Series is soon to be underway. If and interviewer were to ask you what your greatest weakness is, what would your answer be? DM @STC_GMU your answer and we��ll share it anonymously so that professionals in Tech Comm can help you out.

[STC HealthMed @STCHealthMed]

@tosingofmyself @NCTE_CCCC That’s a great question! I’d be curious to know the best way to travel with all the presentation supplies!
