THE SOCIAL Call it nature, call it nurture, or an interplay of both, but we all behave differently around different people, in different spaces + places. To what extent and how varies between individuals. Why do we do this? Mobility. Now there are many definitions and typologies of mobility, but I'm going to frame it … Continue reading Filters (for life)
I can't remember the last full weekend I had completely off, to myself, where I was free to do what I liked. I want to reflect, I want to write.

Last week I presented my own research at a professional conference for the very first time. I have no idea yet about how many people were in attendance. Nevertheless, it was an enthralling experience despite the 'black hole' feeling of presenting virtually. I forgot how much I thrive off public speaking, and I am hungry … Continue reading College of Paramedics National Conference 2022
