Good morning! @AlisonSBarrett from @CroakeyNews here.

The inaugural #CroakeyFundingDrive officially kicks off today with a week-long program of activities.

We will be tweeting from @WePublicHealth during the week to share why supporting public interest journalism is important. Image
Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that I live and work on the lands of the Kaurna people & pay my respects to Elders past and present – AB.

We will be sharing and acknowledging the work of our funding consortium members throughout the day – AB.
Tuesday will have a focus on #ResearchTranslation and public interest journalism.

On Friday, we invite you to share your favourite pet pictures & we will publish a compilation of #PetsOfCroakey.

Here's one of my Shadow pup for inspiration – AB.

Hey all! I’m Erin, a white Australian woman. I was born and raised in #Naarm, on the land of the #Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I’ve been many different versions of myself. Most recently I’m a psychologist, research assistant, and #PhD student
#PhDVoices Image
For most of my life it's just been my mother, brother, and me. Things weren't always easy but we were always supported - in #learning and in life. I'm lucky that I've always been able to try things out without being scared of failure or judgement. It's all been an #adventure
I've always wanted to do a #PhD, ever since I was little. It was part of my life plan: grow up (never!), be six feet tall (not even close), visit #Queensland (tick - roller coasters are great), and get a PhD (in progress). I didn't know what about. I just knew I loved learning

The Federal Government is progressing its commitment to establishing a national Centre for Disease Control, with the recent publication of a stakeholder consultation report summarising key responses about roles and functions of an #AusCDC

health.gov.au/our-work/Austr…
Seeing many conversations about the Centre in recent months using the acronym #ACDC had us @CroakeyNews wondering what's in a name?

Is Australian Centre for Disease Control the most relevant name?

Will the acronym #ACDC work or will it be confused with the rock band?
The report states that many stakeholders accept the name #ACDC – it "clearly positions the organisation's role" & is in line with similar Centres overseas.

But, some noted concern that CDC "did not sufficiently signal a preventative health include".

Other names suggested... Image

🧵While walking to VU this morning to teach class for #SystemsThinking in #PublicHealth, I began pondering the challenges I experienced. Also how designing & teaching this unit has taught me much about #LearningDesign & #teaching more broadly.

All pics in this thread by me!
It does feel risky to write this thread but here we go...

The interaction of studying the Graduate Cert in #TeritaryEducation & designing & teaching a unit in #SystemsThinking in #PublicHealth has really altered the way I think about Public Health teaching & learning @CAPHIA1
It has been transformative but also I have felt profoundly alone & unsure of where there was space - apart from here - where I could safely bounce ideas around about how to address the challenges experienced in the classroom. The #LearningDesigner I work has been phenomenal...

Side note - I want to say don't let this discourage you from hosting @WePublicHealth. Here are my tips:

1. Try & find people to tweet with u during the week. When I've hosted with even one person its made a huge difference, particularly when you've run out of ideas (or get sick)
2. Plan out the content in draft form for the week. Even if this is on a scrap of paper. You might have guessed from my tweeting this week that I had planned Mon, Tues & Thurs. I had guessed it would be easy to tweet about #IWD on Weds but I didn't plan my final 3 days.
3. Starting your tweet Acknowledging the Country on is normal practice for @Croakey but also an important choice to make when you host. Try to include photographs. As you can see thats easy for me to do but if you don't take a million pictures like me just get 7 in preparation.

Good afternoon from #Naarm

Featured in this tweet and the one following are all pieces of street art from Naarm (some legal, some sneaky) that celebrate First Nations Australians. Perhaps some of you recognise where they are from?
The tram one should be familar to most Victorians and is part of @risingmelbourne 2022 First Peoples art trams rising.melbourne/wormhole/2022-… It is called Blak Love and is by Dr Paola Balla (Wemba Wemba-Gunditjmara)
This afternoon I want to start by saying that both illness & lack of internet coverage down in Somers (on Bunurong Country) threw a real spanner in the works for my @WePublicHealth tweeting 😥
