My new article on how patients and caregivers in Vietnam evaluate different paths through the country's health system is out!

I’m on Bluesky! @amydao.bsky.social

I got my copy today! Why didn’t Western media believe Vietnam’s early success over COVID-19? Does the answer have something to do with how the Occident tries to maintain cultural and geopolitical authority? Yeah.

@TanjaAhlin Congratulations!

Super excited to share that I've secured the funds to make my book #CallingFamily open access! It will be available in a couple of weeks - on how digital #technologies shape what #care is, how to do remote elder care well, and, though that, who we are. rutgersuniversitypress.org/calling-family…

“I am my parent’s retirement plan.” I want to put words to a part of the housing crisis I see playing out: Many of our parents + grandparents weren’t able to get jobs w/ traditional retirement plans (due to discrimination) and as such, rely on their children for housing/care.

@TanjaAhlin 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Now this is exciting - my book #CallingFamily on digital technologies and elder care at a distance is at the #AAACASCA2023 exhibition! Drop by today - it's the last chance to pick up your copy!

@JMT_PhD Congratulations!!

@mhberesford @AWutich Love this Melissa! I’m sharing your story with my students.
