Hi all!
It has been so great to read all about your adventures so far. I'm glad everyone sounds happy and healthy! I'm getting settled into life in DC. My week started out a bit rough- a sudden down pour caused me to arrive at my first day of work completely drenched and all discombobulated (just sound it out- I don't think that is a real word). But, I've moved past that embarrassing entrance and the rest of the week has gone very well. There are 14 interns (all very cool) and there are three of us from Rollins so that is fun!
The best part about my job so far is that they asked me to attend the Global Health Council Conference here in DC all week. It is HUGE - it is like APHA only better because it is all implementers (NGOS) and not academics talking about how great their research is- and all the presentations are about effective programs and lessons learned etc. So that has been great- major schmoozing and networking (bleh)- but useful in the long run. Next year you should all go!
Other than fun conference things I don't have too much to report, I've already been wine tasting and I'm volunteering with the winery to get free wine!! (Meryl, I thought you would appreciate that).
Miss you all!

I was doing a search for who has blogged the GHC meeting and stumbled on your blog. Very cool first hand accounts.
ReplyDeleteWe have put up a digest of our own on what we saw at the conference which was great. You can check it on our site - http://globalhealthideas.org.
If you want to cross post something that would be great.
