It is my first attempt to bring the stories I grew up with into a new set of experiences. I incorporated what I learned as an adult, father, and child at heart. Focused on showcasing adventure, mentorship and teaching, and having a little fun.

I give you my gluten free bread. Although I miss gluten (celiac disease is awful) I am extremely proud of my progress baking with new ingredients. Need to figure out good gluten free beer next...

🔚 Bottom line: An open, learner‑centered course is less about the amount of content you deliver and more about the quality of interaction, accessibility, and honesty you bring to the classroom.

It's almost course launch time! So, a 🧵 from my perspective:

I am finishing up my presentation for the Erasmus HSC 1 Day Conference in Den Haag on Friday. I report on informal interviews with program officers and EDs, share stark data, and ask researchers and practitioners to think differently as we navigate this uncertain time.

Just finished Cooper's Counterrevolution. Looking for a #book recommendation in a similar vein (theory, possibilities, history) in the Emergency Management / Disaster space. Any recommendations?

I was told the cat would be upset at a new sitter while the owners were away. The cat, is in fact, upset at a new sitter. I am reading Sugar by James Walvin to the cat in hopes of building a bond. This is not my research area. Wish me luck.
