So great to meet you in person, @sammystark! I look forward to our paths crossing again soon and often.
Thank you, @InstituteForPR, for having me at the #IPRSummit23! 🗽 I had the privilege of discussing how AI + human creativity can be a "superpower" for our profession. 🚀 Shoutout to @dzdavis for her many insights.

Congratulations, Juan-Carlos!
Thank you, @InstituteForPR, I am honored for my career to be acknowledged in such a way. Many people have been by my side during this professional journey since I arrived in the United States 28 years ago. You know who you are, muchas gracias 🙏

My immediate reaction to this is, "of course!" However, the comments are important reminders that there are many motivations, just as there are in any environment. Some folks need connection. Some crave isolation. Virtual worlds offer a "choose your own adventure" opportunity!

What are the potential benefits of virtual reality? @dzdavis, SOJC prof and director of the SOJC's Oregon Reality Lab at @uoregon in Portland, answers that question in this article from @DiscoverMag. Short answer? VR is only limited by the imagination.

I recognize my privilege. I also remember the challenges of working as a "cute" young mother in the 80s. Now, my age can be a problem, and yet, as this article explains, nobody's talking about it. -- Agencies Have an Ageism Problem adweek.it/3zOYfy1 via @Adweek
