“I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.” —Maya Angelou

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

This was an excellent workshop and I can't wait to apply these methods to future projects. Read @sdukehan.bsky.social's thread below to learn about the topics covered. Thanks, @srndna.bsky.social!

1. Take this seriously. Here is how you do it. Take a screenshot of the #HatchAct violation, whether it's on LinkedIn or other social media or on the actual US Government website. When you file your complaint, provide your personal contact information. If you're a furloughed fed, you're off-duty.

OSC tells us how to file a #HatchAct complaint. Nearly all federal sites are in violation. Do not accept this as normal. #FEDSTRONG

Dr. Frumkin: tool that helps you decide which EMA platform to use: @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin: Lots of ways in terms of frequency to collect data. Basically want to do what you need in terms of constricts measuring. @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin: are you interested in frequency? Intensity? How often does what you want to measure change? What time of responses do you want? 7point Likert? Visual analogue scale (VAS)? Some potential support for VAS being better @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin: can take the within person to between persons question and identify those who may be more at risk… @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Frumkin says that patients tend to like tools but clinicians don’t like them as much. Says patients appreciated how the tools helped to know themselves better, clinicians said didn’t add any new information @srndna.bsky.social

Dr. Springstein did qualitative focus groups to discover potential issues and incentives for older adults to do daily life sampling research — nice idea! @srndna.bsky.social

The Trump Administration is working to reopen the government for the American people.

Mission-critical activities of HHS will continue during the Democrat-led government shutdown.

In the event of a shutdown, the eRA system will still be open. You can submit your applications. However, no one can process them. Peer review and council meetings will not occur. DSMB meetings may occur, and each ICO will likely have a safety officer serve as a exempted POC.

Many of you have asked about gifts to us during a shutdown, mainly doordash types of things. No. Instead, donate to local food banks like Manna in MoCo, Capital Area Food Bank in DC, Find Food in PGC, and Food for Others in Fairfax. These serve everyone. Please repost. #fedstrong #shutdown
