Cheat week!!!
I'm off to Boston tonight for HxRefactored so I didn't do any grocery shopping this weekend. I learned a few things from last week's meals--mainly that though delicious on the first night, re-heated one pot pasta is soggy and gross. Definitely a meal meant to be eaten on the same night it's cooked. The quinoa and cuban chicken was amazing--and the fried bananas. omg. Frying bananas in coconut oil with a touch of sea salt and chili pepper is a genius idea. #amazing Also, roasted grape tomatoes + basil + fresh mozzarella is going to be a Spring/Summer staple for me, much like my Pho craze this winter. #alltheyummies
Back to Boston and HxR. I know the whole conference will be great, but it was an absolute go for me when I saw it offered a session on Health Literacy and Equity. Perfect and exactly where I want to go with my career. Here's a blurb:
My dream job is a Health Communications Specialist position at the Department of Health and Human Services, especially if it involves creating products for members of minority communities. Last year, I applied for an opening and made it past the first set of interviews to the top three to be cut there. #heartbreak That was before all my digital health communication training though, and I'm going to try again--soon. I want it badly, if only to prove that I can best the USAJobs process. Plus, I know I'd be great.
It's earlier than my ideal time to visit the Bean Town--I love it in May, but early April is a little too early. But, I get to see a few friends, we will drink good wine and eat good food and I will be happy :)
Hugs and kisses peeps,
Bethany
PS--I will rock it in the kitchen next week to make up for the splurging. Lookout for a few awesome recipes!

"If knowledge is power, then health technology clearly benefits those in the know as “the healthy and wealthy” buy Fitbits, log into health care portals and track their calories via smartphone. How can we use design to better serve the health needs of the underserved? In Health Literacy and Equity, we explore the challenge of helping people from all socio-economic levels become aware of their health risks, understand the benefits of nutrition and exercise, and better manage chronic conditions. Progress lies in moving beyond clear communication to developing new tools and approaches that are not just easy to understand, but compelling, engaging, and human."#gah I'm so excited to see what people are doing, and possibly, collaborating on a project. Maybe? Hope so.
