Note from the ACDIS Editor

December is a time for being grateful

by Carolyn Riel

Early December always feels like a liminal time. We’ve had a few days off of work for Thanksgiving, spending time with friends and family, but then need to put our noses down again and meet quickly approaching deadlines before another round of holidays and time off at the end of the month. It can make finding motivation difficult, as we’re all pretending we aren’t counting down the days until some much needed rest and relaxation.

Last year around this time, the ACDIS team got together virtually for a holiday gathering, during which we started a new tradition. Each person chose a charity, and then was assigned a Secret Santa who donated to that charity in their honor. Not only did we all learn about some amazing charities we wouldn’t have otherwise, but we also got do something far more meaningful than sending each other physical gifts.

Blog Highlight

Here's what's been published on the ACDIS Blog in the last week:

Do you have a tip, story, or perspective to share with the broader ACDIS and CDI community? If you’re interested in writing a piece for the Blog, here are a couple guidelines for you:

  • Length: Typically, 500-700 words. If your post is longer, we may break it into two posts for readability.
  • Content: All things CDI (and coding too)! We love hearing about your experiences and the lessons you’ve learned about CDI along the way.

Besides those two guidelines, all you have to do is submit your piece to ACDIS Editor Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org) and Associate Editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org).
