Starting your own business involves a lot of upskilling. And sometimes that upskilling is frustrating. So if anyone can help me figure out why I can’t connect my squarespace website and domain, I’d be grateful for some advice!

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

And no, I didn’t go to hospital for content either! But if you are interested in communication, here’s something I wrote for emergency doctors a few years ago: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A little story. Very recently I had a little trip to ED (all ok). I’d already mentioned that I work in healthcare communication and had a short chat about it with the doctor. Close to discharge, the doctor asked where I was working to ascertain whether I needed a medical certificate. 1/2

Excellent article from Julia Baird: “sometimes the cleverest of doctors can be the worst communicators” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Apparently there aren’t many language teachers in NSW at the moment. Maybe there’s a place for learning about how language and conversation work in real life? #InterpersonalSkills #education

All the talk about the Royal Society put it in my mind to read the Journals of Walter White, the once assistant secretary of the Royal Society and my great x 4(?) grandfather.

Looks like National Lampoon beat me to it in 1972 (a clipping my dad kept during his time in med school!)

Going through some of my medical history and re-discovered some scans after a trip to emergency for a concussion a bit over a decade ago. I have zero recollection of this occurring. And it wasn’t even a bad concussion. Makes me wonder what else I’m forgetting.

2 of 3 reviewers on my interpretive qualitative paper want intercoder reliability tests, random sample to prevent selection bias, tables w/counts, comparison to those not interviewed, & generalizability. If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.

Yep, when you hear that mining is huge, remember they mean the profits are huge... The Hospitality industry pays more wages to Australians than does mining.

Love that others have also seen vibes in qualitative research. I used this framing in a workshop about engaging novices in CA at DMCA in 2022 following some great chats on Twitter with @joshuaraclaw.com

I make pretty good scones and Anzac biscuits and went down a rabbit hole looking at the rules of the Royal Easter Show to see if I could enter! Since discovered there’s no Anzac biscuit category!

Shout out to the only healthcare provider across two hospitals that asked mine or my husband’s name on a recent visit with one of our kids. Besides that though, some really great care, clear communication of uncertainty, and even apologies for delays!

We're only ten days into 2025 & already 40 people in aged care homes have died from COVID. The answer is so clear: clean the air, test staff & give them paid sick leave, test visitors before entry, enforce mask wearing. None of this is rocket science ... We just don't seem to care enough 🤷

Research is rarely a straight forward process. It is important to reflect on the methods we use to interrogate different analytic questions, both during the research and after it is completed. We came across several methodological challenges during our research into lifestyle talk.
