Call to action
In more recent years I’ve started reaching out through spoken word, personal interaction and through my daily actions but realised that many individuals use the literature as the foundation of knoweldge. Knowing the delay from need, to research, to practice, I realised it was important to start raising the alarm to critical issues to help drive research in areas of need. This is a much quicker way to help make a movement as no single researcher could ever research and discover at the rate that many researchers working on a goal may progress a topic. These are some of the recent “call to action” papers I have contributed toward or written. Please see some of my presentations for more of this vision of our future.
