Anyone else having trouble getting people added to their starter packs? It just took me three goes to add someone to this one.
(If you're in Health Services Research and can't see yourself in either this or the original HSR starter pack 1 let me know and I'll try to add you)

So I've had a go at a Starter Pack thing to see if @nanettemutrie.bsky.social and I can find more #physicalactivity friends who have made the jump across.
Additional tags welcomed and will add
