    I posted this tweet storm yesterday. Thanks to the great folks at GHELI, here is a map of visits to the video site in the first day. People are looking all over the world. I am delighted to see this and hope people find the videos of use.

    And while you are at it, check out the enormous library of resources that GHELI has assembled. There are tools for scholarship and teaching. Anyone interested in health should know about this. 6/6
