Got my copy of @DiPiroPharmaco 12e dropped on my doorstep today. It’s a beast! Labor of love by @GaryYee54 @Tom_Nolin @VEllingrod @lmposey and, of course, @DipiroJoseph. Like birthing a baby - except the book’s gestation is 3 years & weighs more.

Been playing with different AI tools for the 2-3 months. Even has ChatGPT write a love letter 💌 to my wife. A passable effort with some heartfelt flourishes - but a bit too Hallmark for my taste.
Just got done editing the latest epidose. Topic: #AI and #ChatGPT and its implications for pharmacy education and practice. Our special guest is @TDAungst. Find out who the Luddite is when the epidose drops on March 7th.

I love this non-traditional peer mentoring network organically formed by @tmpbrock and a group of influential women. Mentoring involves role modeling, providing support, and creating opportunities. ajpe.org/content/78/5/105

Still waiting. Now more than 3 hours.
Replying to @AmericanAir
@AmericanAir “We appreciate your patience. A representative will be with shortly. Please continue to hold.” Really? When? Is a 2 ½ hour hold not long enough? Still waiting.

Oddly I have found students to be among the most resistant to “ungrading.” Some just need the validation that they are “better” than their peers. Others worry they can’t distinguish themselves. But are grades and a high GPA really the best way to document one’s abilities?
A lot of appeal to #ungrading -> reduced student stress and anxiety; greater focus on mastery. But can it be implemented in all contexts? Does it leave some students behind? In latest epidose, Fika crew talks with Metallica superfan @jefrenz about her ungrading journey.

Been (re)reading @AliaCrum’s papers over the past few weeks and marvel at how cleverly they are designed. Fascinating. Implications far reaching. Seems to me mindsets are a therapeutic approach we overlook but should harness.
Friday's #Wellbeing Message Stress isn't inherently negative. We feel stress from things we care about — it can activate us! It's the response to stress that's potentially negative. Mindset is a key ingredient to that response. Read @AliaCrum's paper. mbl.stanford.edu/sites/g/fil…
The theme of @AACPharmacy Teachers' Seminar this year was about simplifying - reducing the cognitive load to improve learning outcomes. @KristinKJanke @tmpbrock @DrJeffCain Jenn Trujillo and I talk about mitigating our bias for ADDITION on the latest @PharmacyFika epidose.

Having lots of fun engaging in conversations on the @PharmacyFika with @DrJeffCain @KristinKJanke and @tmpbrock about a wide range of issues we face in #highered and #PharmEd. Different perspectives gets me thinking 🤔every time -> lots of great reading!

We need to be more intentional about engaging with students 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 with professionally-oriented projects plus a touch of the personal. Boundaries are important but we all need to feel connected to be engaged. We hope we model that in the @PharmacyFika podcast! 🎙️
1 of the ways that I'm treating my own challenges with academic #engagement is by connecting to my fab colleagues via @PharmacyFika. Cake & a regular chat with @KristinKJanke, @DrJeffCain, & @stuartthaines is working for me. What will work for our #pharmacy students? #TwitteRx

Excited to see Social Media Resource Guide published by @AACPharmacy on how to use social media responsibly to advance knowledge and the profession of #pharmacy. Lots of great examples for #PharmEd. Download: ow.ly/2kZP50JQaTH

College students (and health professions students) seem more disconnected and disengaged. What is the primary culprit?
53%Technology->distraction
20%Social isolation
0%Working too much
27%A Pandemic (duh!)

This outstanding review in @JACCPJournal coupled with @PharmacyFika podcast episode on critical thinking are great introductions to these essential educational concepts. We need to give our students more opportunities to grapple with problems with unclear answers. #PharmEd

A fat bank account, cars, Instagram followers, certifications, and a beautiful lawn don't do much for our happiness. Nothing inherently wrong with them (except perhaps the lawn — not good for the environment). Relationships! That's what really counts.
Friday's #Wellbeing Message Cultivating healthy, positive relationships is the best investment you can make for your well-being! When we get stressed and overwhelmed, we tend to neglect them. Don't divest. Invest!
