Once upon a time, some of my PhD students put my comments on their draft chapters and papers into a book.
Those were very happy days indeed.

The Samurai Bear, the superhero of #impsci and a friend of @carlrmay.bsky.social, had a very important message at the #EIE2025: “TRUST is the glue that links people, things and their contexts”. @implementeic.bsky.social

Great keynotes from Carl May and Annette Boaz to kick off #EIE2025. Lots of food for thought re the evolution of implementation science, its role in informing policy and practice, and opportunities for the future.
