The document advocates for leadership that embraces experimentation and improvisation to remain relevant by understanding customer needs and communicating value in new ways.
This document discusses the global impact of HIV/AIDS through a series of images and captions. It notes that most HIV cases are caused by unprotected sex and shared needles. Every minute, five more people are infected with HIV, with three of those cases occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa. Over 25 million people have died of AIDS and over 69 million are infected globally. The document discusses the suffering people with AIDS endure in Africa from poverty, illness, and stigma. It suggests that increased awareness, education, research, treatment programs, and support from others are needed to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The Sierra Leonean Civil War occurred from 1991-2002 and resulted in widespread violence and human rights abuses against civilians. Over 50,000 people were killed during the conflict and thousands more lost limbs or suffered other mutilations at the hands of rebel groups. Children were forcibly conscripted as soldiers and subjected to unimaginable horrors. The war devastated the country and population, and Sierra Leone has worked to rebuild in the years since through education programs and efforts to provide justice for war crimes.

A presentation for the CATS 2010 Conference (http://cats.cdl.edu/online_2010/)
How do we deal with the never ending onslaught of new technologies, resources, and media? How can we face this brave new world without a sense of dread? Is there an app for that? "Keeping up" is a myth, and the way of dealing with this is creating, sustaining, and being in your extended networks of friends, colleagues, and even people you don't know. Likewise, one cannot readily assess the value of new technology from the outside "looking in." This presentation will lead you through a range of examples of ways to practice more "being there-ness" so you can face the technology fire hose with a child-like sense of wonder.

Keynote for Indiana Library Federation Conference, Indianapolis, IN, November 14, 2012. Full text of talk available at: http://peterbromberg.com/indiana/FRAMECHANGE.pdf
The document discusses the use of social media by Cooperative Extension programs. It notes that while only 27% of the US adult population is familiar with Cooperative Extension, 75% use the internet and over 60% will use Facebook by 2013. The benefits of social media for Extension include flexibility, efficiency, scalability, timeliness and collaborations. Challenges include managing expectations of transparency, influence occurring through small social circles, and the "fire hose effect" of a constant stream of information. The document provides tips on integrating social media, including defining goals and audiences, participating in communities, choosing the right tools, and references many additional resources.
The document discusses how social media and technology may be negatively impacting communication. It notes that 89% of people aged 18-29 are social media users and they often prefer communicating through apps rather than in person. However, social media removes nonverbal cues that account for 93% of communication. This can lead to misinterpretations since meaning is lost without body language and tone of voice. The document suggests that people should communicate face to face more to avoid assumptions and better understand each other.
The document provides details on various designs for mobility aids and crutches.

The document gives an overview of different categories and sub-categories of mobility aid designs.
Presentation about accessibility for Ignite Denmark 1 March 2011 in Huset, Copenhagen. Transcripts in English and Danish at http://www.mardahl.dk/2011/03/28/igniting-accessibility-for-ignite-denmark/
We live in both the real world and a digital world. In the digital world, we construct online personas and identities and can hide behind anonymity. However, our online and real lives are also interconnected. The digital world gives us opportunities to connect with others but may weaken our social skills. It has become difficult to balance time spent in the digital world versus the real world.
COERLL June Webinar Series #2 - The Practice of Adapting, Teaching, and Creating OER. Garin Fons, Nathalie Steinfeld Childre, Orlando Kelm, Carl Blyth, Amanda Dalola
The document discusses communication and engagement for social action. It explores the concepts of social networking, community, and the most effective means of communication nowadays. While social networks allow sharing among a broad group of connected individuals, communities are smaller and more tightly bonded groups that are united through shared experiences and identities. Effective communication relies on establishing common language, culture, and understanding between participants.
The document discusses the limitations and criticisms of online activism or "clicktivism". It notes that while social media allows issues to gain widespread awareness, as seen with hashtags like #BringBackOurGirls, awareness alone does not create tangible change. Some critics argue that online activism on platforms like Facebook transforms social issues into ways to gain social capital rather than create real change. However, others maintain that clicktivism still has value in spreading awareness and dissent when it may be one of the only forms of expression available. The document also provides several examples of online activist campaigns and hashtags.
Women Medical Students' and Residents' Interest in Academic Medicine CareersKatherine Ellington
In the last four decades women students have achieved near parity within medical schools across the United States. Yet, there is a significant shortfall of women who teach medical students and/or lead medical institutions. Mentoring, early scholar and career advancement opportunities for women training in medicine are necessary to enable a full spectrum of diversity and inclusion in academic medicine for education, research and patient care. It is also evident that women need to identify role models and competent mentors in the early stages of their careers. Is this enough to climb the academic medicine leadership ladder? The Building the Next Generation of Academic Physicians (BNGAP) initiative consists of a group of academic medicine faculty, residents and students whose purpose is to increase diversity in the academic medicine workforce. Our research indicates that 62.4% of women medical students and 84.2% of women residents share an interest in academic medicine careers. How do we establish ground for their successful climb? Significant BNGAP results will be summarized with recommendations to inform diversity and inclusion efforts for the future of women exploring as well as those who have careers in academic medicine.
The AMSA National Book Discussion Webinar series provides a unique opportunity for physicians-in-training to engage with physician-authors in an online interactive format. Over 450 participants including medical students, residents, and others have participated in discussions of 16 physician-authors' books covering topics like patient care, the lives of physicians, and diversity in medicine. The webinars allow participants to gain valuable professional and personal insights from the physicians' stories while building a shared learning experience.

The future belongs to young people ...
and it is us who will be affected most by the decisions we take today on Aids/HIV epidemic, climate change, food, energy, environmental degradation, economic stability and the continuing challenge of world poverty.
Such decisions will influence the shape and quality of our future lives and could even dictate how long we will live. So it is very important that us, as individuals and as a group, take a keen interest in these issues now – and make absolutely sure our views are heard.
