2019 in Twitter Posts
What a great year 2019 was, busy, but great. I progressed in my career, made some new friends, got a few journal papers, and a grant. To capture 2019, I thought it would be great to use Twitter posts I made throughout the year. Some of the content below isn't from me, but inspired me, or gave me pause to reflect.

Delighted to work with @ntfear and colleagues on a tool we've developed to identify military service from clinical records using the @NIHRMaudsleyBRC CRIS. The work would not have been possible without the support of @FiMTrust. #adr2019 https://t.co/5sa4ZviGrv
