Me and my profession

As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

Specialties:

Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!

World first swine flu vaccine

UPDATE: 4.45pm A SWISS company is today claiming to have made the world's first swine flu vaccine.

Novartis, which has its Australian headquarters in Sydney, announced it had successfully completed cell-based production of the first batch of A(H1N1) vaccine.

``Based on that success, the company expects to be able to achieve rapid production," a Novartis spokesman said.

``The vaccine is in clinical trials now.''

So they have made their vaccine. I am sure it will work, for some, but knowing we (in Aus) are about to head into our Flu season - or we are here now - I would suspect that it wouldn't be long before A(H1N1) or SwineFlu will most likely evolve as it mixes with other nasty flu-bugs.

For the conspiracy-mob out there - perhaps they've had the vaccine all along, but needed the world to hit Level 6 Pandemic before making any moves on disclosure! Testing the waters for biological-attack perhaps?

I await the "War on Influenza"!
