Fellowship


>Friends:

>I will be leaving the Department of Health Services at the University of
>Washington, my academic home for nearly 20 years, to accept a one-year
>NLM Informatics Fellowship at OHSU. My last day at UW is August 31. I
>start the Fellowship September 20.
>
>I'm very excited about having a year to study, take courses, do
>research, and write papers. Working with such luminaries in the
>Informatics field as Joan Ash and Bill Hersh, and with professional
>colleagues at OHSU is something I'm very much looking forward to.
>
>I will be concentrating on learning everything I can about public health
>informatics, which has been a passion of mine for many years. My
>specific research interests are on the topic of "open learning objects"
>both by themselves and in conjunction with metadata. Open learning
>objects are going to be of increasing interest as distance learning
>continues to grow and develop, and I plan to see what I can do to open
>up access to online (Web-based) content for you and other public health
>colleagues.

>Please do not think that this is the last you will see of me. I'm just
>changing my venue, NOT my interest in you. I have not yet figured out
>what to do about the public health lists that I manage, but rest assured
>that if I can't run the lists from OHSU, I will find a listowner who
>cares as much about you as I do and who will do as good a job as I have
>tried to do. I will try to make the transition as painless as possible
>so that none of you will be inconvenienced.

>Regards, and have a happy 4th of July. Fireworks are already going off
