And feel free to share!

The Health Economics Feed seems to be working. There just is not much activity (yet!). What you can do:

1) Subscribe: bsky.app/profile/did:...

2) Mention 'health economics' or '#healthecon' in a post if you want it to show up in the feed.

3) Share the feed with all your health econ colleagues.
