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...

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?

My new home for at least the next two years. Refreshing to say the very least. Still processing the transition and weight lifted off my shoulders. Hope to contribute meaningfully to my new home and community.
