Big Applause for Prof. Irene Papanicolas (Harkness Fellow 2015-2016) & the CHeSS Launch at Brown University!!!
Thrilled to witness the launch event for Center for Health System Sustainability (CHeSS) at the Brown University School of Public Health. This pioneering initiative is set to revolutionize the academic pursuits of teaching and researching the importance of international data excellence and comparisons. And it is U.S. based! (More trains and less planes for me…)
CHeSS harnesses the power of data and global engagement to craft comparative insights and policy recommendations that are not just numbers, but narratives for change from the next generation of international health policy leaders. (We love collaborating with them!)
Let's shift the focus from competition to cooperation. It's all not about who's best; it's about what's best for each of us. Through international comparisons, we can transcend boundaries, learn collectively, and tailor healthcare to each countries’ unique needs.
We can redefine healthcare and pave the way for a healthier tomorrow.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTO-REYGITONIUM-G
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES US GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD TRUE SHOCK TO WITNESS.
PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL.
IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS.
THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE.
ARE YOU.?
HOMELESS.. OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD.
The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets can be privately owned and controlled. GOOGLE

EXAMPLE IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS.
HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CRYPTOCURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED.
THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO-CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY FINANCES WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS.
REYGITONIUM-G: EACH COUNTRY GOVERNMENT INITIAL $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. THEREAFTER GLOBALLY ANYBODY CAN INVEST IN THE CRYPTO-REYGITONIUM-G.
OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS WHEN A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA.
CLOSING COMMENT:
THE DAMNEDEST CRAZIEST FUNNIEST EMBARRASSING ABOUT THE HOMELESS CHAOS IS ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY HOMELESS EXIST. HENCEFORTH CONSIDER USA TRILLIONS IN DEBT & 6,120 HOSPITALS SCATTERED AROUND THE USA & MANY COUNTRIES ASKING FOR FOREIGN AID IN THE TRILLIONS & YOU TALKING EXCUSES.
MEANWHILE WE WANT TO SETTLE HUMANITY ON OTHER PLANETS.

Empowering PhD & research students with advanced skills training, expert mentorship, and community support for thesis success and accelerated careers | Founder & CEO |
If they can do it, so can YOU!
This last week, we've celebrated some EPIC achievements within our mentorship community.
To mention only a few here...
Rene got the news that she passed her PhD with No Corrections and received a nomination for Outstanding Thesis Award. She doubted her thesis was good enough... 🫣
Katy is over the moon with her thesis being awarded a High Distinction. A thesis she gave up at one stage 🥳
Justin submitted an incredible PhD thesis with 8 accepted publications. And doing it all while studying medicine 🙃
Chrissy submitted her impactful PhD with incredible drive, achieving it in ways we've haven't seen before. Inspiration overload here✌️🤗
Lets celebrate these incredible achievements. None of these would have been possible without the small wins along the way, the right thinking, and persistence.
PERSISTENCE is the one characteristic that all successful people have in common.
For it is true that...
"Whatever you conceive and believe, through persistence you must achieve." ~B.Proctor
And what you THINK you become.
If they can do it, so can YOU!
So...
If the believe is not there, start by shifting your thinking and allow the believe to catch up.
Control of your thoughts - they create your reality.
Celebrate your small progresses.
Detach from the how.
Connect deeply with the end goal - the emotions and feelings having achieved this goal already.
Be in the moment and use daily gratitude to stay grounded.
Connect with a tribe that will back you 💯% every step.
Ride the waves 🏄♀️ ,🏄♂️
And...
Give back.
This last point in part explains why some students do really well and others not 🤔 More on this in our upcoming FREE 3-day workshops later this month on thesis examination, no corrections, and more - check out our events!
Know that anything is possible when you truly set your mind to it. Back yourself. And if you need some extra support, our virtual doors are always open for a chat. DM me.

I’d you’re an #OperationsResearch practitioner, then you have likely dreamt of getting the #FranzEdelman award (the OR equivalent of the Nobel Prize).
Well, this year at #INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, I’m organizing a panel called “How to start an Edelman-worthy project”, moderated by the only and only Irv Lustig.
Our distinguished panelists (Masoud Mirmomeni , J. Antonio Carbajal, Tugce Martagan, Theodore Allen and Lei Wang) have all been finalists in previous Edelman competitions, come from different industries and have a lot of wisdom to share.
Join us on Monday 21st at 12:45pm in Ballroom 3.
