Every year, my students in my IR history course impress me so much with their Wikipedia pages. They have to write on something that does not already have an entry.

Here are this year's creations which have already been viewed over 250k. times (1/ 8) People:

Isabel Pinto de Vidal, Uruguayan lawyer and politician: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabel_Pi…

Iris Carpenter, British journalist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Carp…

Alice Kandaleft Cosma, Syrian diplomat: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Kan…

Anne Zelensky, French feminist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Zele… (2/8)

🧵 Vaccination registration rates are not fantastic for younger age groups, though BC says they are going up every day.

We can do better to reach people!

Three very simple suggestions for public health and government officials: Image 1. Use the emergency text alert system to tell people to register. (Turn off the horrible klaxon noise, obviously!)

2. Send a letter to every household with instructions on how to register. Provide the instructions in all major languages used in BC.

🧵Today, we (@IanPBeacock , @EseoheOjo, and I) are launching our new report and introducing the RAPID principles for how to put health communications at the heart of democracies’ response to Covid-19. (1 / 25)

democracy.arts.ubc.ca/2020/09/14/cov… We saw three problems:

1. many approaches to the pandemic neglect communications.

2. work was focusing more on the infodemic and less on how to create quality information.

3. the pandemic is intersecting with multiple crises in democracy. (2 / 25)

A thread: Communications in a public health crisis are as crucial as medical intervention. in fact, communications policies ARE a medical intervention.

We can do much better so here goes: (1/25) Who should speak?

Public health officials, doctors, and nurses are amongst the most trusted people everywhere. Use them to spread messages. I'd like to see more nurses talking. Politicians should introduce them to give them a higher profile. Then get out of the way. (2/25)

Thrilled to announce officially that I am one of the new co-editors for Journal of Global History!

Lots of exciting plans ahead. But for now, check out our mission statement: 1. We are looking for articles dealing with matters of world historical significance. These may occur at smaller scales than the globe.
