I've decided that I can no longer take part in Twitter given the hatred & misinformation championed by its owner. Will miss connecting here with #SLAers, #medhum folks, & #HMImuseum Fellows. Let's connect here instead: linkedin.com/in/brandyking Will deactivate this account soon.
.@LizGaufberg and I were so thrilled to meet up with #HMImuseum fellows @whole_patients and @SsmRad for dinner last night. Both are doing such meaningful work, so proud to know them! #AAMC22

Gorgeous exhibit on Asian textiles at the @fristartmuseum! Couple blocks from MCC, $15 to get in. These textiles will go back in storage for 20yrs after this in order to ensure they don’t get too damaged by light. Glad they are being preserved in this way. #aamc22

Dr. Joe Greer, Founding Dean of @RosemanMedicine & Gold Trustee, notes that in an effort to create humanistic physicians, his school has deliberately included many narrative & reflective courses: “If you can’t tell a story, you can’t make a change." #meded #medtwitter #aamc22

Attending #AAMC22 in Nashville. Have had some really interesting discussions about race today. I’m noticing that compared to conferences a few years ago, seems like people are more willing to discuss tough issues & now have vocabulary with which to have more nuanced conversations

The first work of art the #HMImuseum Fellows are exploring is #valkryeimumbet at @maamboston by Vasconselos. This artwork can be a catalyst for conversation and inquiry around slavery in Massachusetts, the role of law in social change & the history of textiles.

A beautiful #HMImuseum welcome from @LizGaufberg to our 15 Fellows. She quotes Frederick Buechner: A calling is “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”

Rainy start to our morning at #HMImuseum Fellowship! So excited to meet the Fellows I’ve been emailing with for six months! But man, I am so unused to going to in-person professional events, it’s so funny!

Dr Nicole Cooke (@BakerChair) was a stellar keynote. She says she tries to incorporate education about mis-/dis-/mal-information into every course she teaches because it’s all around us. Find her slides at docs.google.com/document/d/1… #sla2022

Tho I understand the reasoning for exploring @MedLibAssn (managed by same AMC), it seems an odd fit to me. Subject-wise 1 of our 80 communities is focused on the same content as all of MLA. Would be interested in exploring @asist_org. Intrigued to hear abt actual options #sla2022
SO exciting to welcome these new SLA Fellows! It's an incredible feeling to be recognized by your peers for your dedication to the Association. The many voluntary efforts of Eugene, Lateka, Nabi, Barbara &Shelly have been key in keeping SLA active & moving it forward. #sla2022

Important notes on relationship-building from #sla2022 keynote Dr Jennifer Garçon: 1. Figure out how to use your resources to benefit under-resources communities 2. Only make promises within your capacity 3. Listen to and center the communities you’re working with #archives

Congratulations to @desertlibrarian on being inducted into the SLA Hall of Fame. She’s had an incredible career in astronomy librarianship and has been a dedicated SLA member and Fellow! Also, she’s just super cool. #sla2022
