I’ve done it! First time recording on PowerPoint! I’ve recorded my talk for #AllAboutThatPlace. Each day there’s a talk about’a place within a place’ and I’m speaking about #Dunster Village Hospital. #OnePlace #OnePlaceStudies #OnePlaceStudy #HistMed

I'm interested in following more #medsoc #histmed folks. I checked the hashtags -- are there others active on here?
