My first post on LinkedIn straddled the personal and the professional. In May 2022, I wrote

What do you do when you fall out of love with your employer of 20+ years? To be clear, this emotional divestment happened in 2019, well before the Covid pandemic.

I posted only 3 more times between then and November 2025. Then I started using LinkedIn as an instrument of promotion, starting with a 13-part series on my review Data in the MMWR. But even in the midst of that series, I posted 4 more personal/professional, short-form essays about my mental health, grief over my parents’ deaths, and how I’m still learning to read. The instrument to promote my intellectual contributions became a channel to promote work-life wholeness, 400 words at a time. In addition to further remembrances, I have traced the lineage of my “progressive culture for data” through a “rhetoric of data”, tried to place agentic tools in a productive context that is neither all nor nothing, and revisited the themes of home and work-life wholeness.
