➸ Contributions - Any publications, articles or programs they worked on?

➸ Collab Opportunities - "What can I do to get involved?" or "How can I help?"

🌳 Just remember that networking is not a one-sided conversation, it is about building your tree of professional+

Here are ideas on what to research about the person:

➸ About me - LinkedIn? A page on their company site? Portfolio bio?

➸ Company - What are their values and goals? Do they align with your's?

➸ Topics of Relevance - What shared topics do you have in common?

Nothing is more powerful than a mental reset after weeks of investing in a huge project or test.

It's one of the best ways to combat burn out and periods of feeling unmotivated which can be detrimental for things like writer's block.

What do you do for self care?

As a PharmD, I learned medical abbreviations as a quick but effective way to communicate with HCPs. But as a writer I always have to remember my audience.

Communications relies on experts being able to translate complex concepts to a wider pool of people outside their profession.

Yesterday I had the honor of presenting at my niece's STEM Committee Career Panel.

This is the first time I've ever properly represented my profession post-graduation and it was a treat to share with these middle-high schoolers the different avenues of pharmacy!

Today is International Long COVID Awareness Day.

COVID has put people out of work and some unable to maximize their work performance due to long COVID symptoms. Thus, it's important to reduce stigma and listen to stories of people infected/disabled by Long COVID.
