Is anyone interested in starting a ACE's Science Group?

Hi,

I have been interested in ACEs science from a Sociological standpoint.  I am retired but I have been presenting ACEs for college sociology students and community groups.

Although I am far away please keep me informed of your activities.

Hi Alfred,

I know I am seeing this after replying to your comment on the other post. If you'd like to chat about some of those organizations I mentioned, or I can try to connect you to them, please feel free to reach out. mmcpheeters@fpschools.org or 253-298-4693. The WA ACEs Connection group might be a great place to start with over 200 members: https://www.pacesconnection.com...on-state-ace-s-group

I did call you yesterday and left a message...you can call me.Thx

Wonderful idea - but with reservations.

Such group blogs and chats often have a high noise to substance ratio, and quality participants often do not see the time invested in such efforts at community building worthwhile when that community is not directly affiliated to a professional hard-science organization. This said -  it is laudable to seek to build community and spread the science beyond ivory towers - and provide a venue where bold ideas can be vetted without undue criticism.

Hence my original statement to it being a wonderful idea - with fingers-crossed.

I continue to present ACEs science to groups.  My latest is my town's community diversity group. I showed them the "England and Wales" YouTube and presented the  my ACEs for college students booklet.

Has anyone  looked at Craig McEwen's recent post.  He is a emeritus sociologist.

Dennis (and all) - Craig, a member here on ACEs Connection, has graciously made his article freely accessible until July 1.  An important read!
