LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION / NON-FICTION Ciara McEllin is building her list as a Junior Agent at Watson Little. She reads widely across book club, upmarket and literary fiction. Within these areas, she is drawn to novels that examine family and relationship dynamics, sexuality, identity, and vulnerability. Ciara is keen to hear from writers who take a fresh approach to these themes, whether that be a new perspective on a traditional narrative or a focus on characters and voices that remain underrepresented: think Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck, Asymmetry by Lisa Halliday or Monkey Grip by Helen Garner. She will always want to read beautifully written novels with a strong sense of place, tangible characters and an essence that stays with you – living deep in your bones – long after you’ve finished reading. Recent reads Ciara has enjoyed include: Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad, Close to Home by Michael Magee, Siblings by Brigitte Reimann, Trespasses by Louise Kennedy, The Idiot by Elif Batuman, Highway Blue by Ailsa McFarlane and My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley. At the moment Ciara is particularly eager to see: - Sexy, sensual and seductive stories that explore desire and sexual boundaries not often represented in literature such as Little Rabbit by Alyssa Songsiridej, Cleanness by Garth Greenwell and Mrs. S by K Patrick - An atmospheric and existential thriller in the vein of Intimacies by Katie Kitamura, In The Cut by Susanna Moore and Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk - An intoxicating coming of-age-tale that captures the aliveness, intelligence and wildness of girlhood like Brutes by Dizz Tate, The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides and The Girls by Emma Cline - Books that are joyful or brutal, particularly those that are both, similar to Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel, Kick the Latch by Kathryn Scanlan and Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan - Stories exploring an Australia or Ireland that is rarely seen in literature for example A Loving, Faithful Animal by Josephine Rowe and Wild Houses by Colin Barrett In non-fiction, Ciara enjoys narrative, memoir and essay collections. She is interested in hearing from experts, academics, critics and journalists writing about society, culture and food, and excited by writers seeking to revise, reshape or revolutionise the conversation in their area of expertise. Some of her favourite non-fiction titles include How To Survive A Plague by David France, The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye, the Living Autobiography Series by Deborah Levy, Last Witnesses: Unchildlike Stories by Svetlana Alexievich, King Kong Theory by Virginie Despentes; and she particularly enjoys the work of M.F.K Fisher, Annie Ernaux, Natalia Ginsburg and Helen Garner. Ciara is not looking for Children’s, YA or Fantasy.

Description Public Health And Epidemiology Diploma The scientific practice of epidemiology enables us to have a good understanding of public health and to make necessary changes to improvise it. Its approaches serve as the foundation for medical research, investigating illness aetiology and evaluating interventions aimed at disease prevention or control. Elearn college's Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course will provide future epidemiologists with the essential fundamental understanding and a wide array of data science and statistical abilities necessary to address modern healthcare challenges. The recent pandemic from Wuhan has focused a spotlight on the field of epidemiology and heightened awareness of its relevance. The increased emphasis on infectious illnesses and worldwide pandemic control has led to employment development, professional possibilities, and recognition of an epidemiologist's critical role in resolving future global crises. If you're interested in honing your epidemiology abilities, this engaging and demanding Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course is meant for you. It does not require a background in epidemiology, but you must have a passion. Your previous experience isn't also a matter of concern. You may wish to further your career in academics, business, or other health-related contexts. Or even consider it if you want to build epidemiological competence. The abilities acquired via our Public Health And Epidemiology course are necessary for your future endeavours in most forms of health science and research, as they will bring leverage for you. Our Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course emphasises decision-making, critical reasoning, and assessment skills, which contribute to developing research abilities and intellectual and personal autonomy. Our Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course's primary objective is to build your capacity to conceptualise and conduct epidemiological research. In simple terms, Epidemiology is defined as the study of various diseases and their trends and factors among specified groups of people. It is an essential aspect of healthcare services, influencing policy and practice by recognising the major disease risk factors and preventative healthcare priorities. Epidemiologists assist in designing studies, collecting and statistically analysing the data, and revising interpretations and distribution of findings. Epidemiology has aided in developing data for clinical trials, public health investigations, and, to an extent, medical science research. The key aspects of the epidemiology study are: The causation of diseases. The transmission of diseases. An outbreak investigation of diseases. Surveillance of diseases. In addition, environmental epidemiology, occupational epidemiology, forensic epidemiology, biomonitoring, screening, and comparative studies based on the results of treatments are parts of our Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course. For better results, epidemiologists depend on other branches of science to deeply understand the disease and its various aspects. In addition, epidemiologists rely on social sciences to understand the social structure and characteristics of the study area. Epidemiology is the foundational field of study for public health practice, medical research, and health care assessments. People involved in developing or analysing epidemiological research and programme assessment must understand the fundamental concepts and techniques. Epidemiological approaches also have a role in quantifying the magnitude and character of health issues, elucidating the origin of various pandemics or epidemics, and assessing the effectiveness of disease treatments. Our Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course prepares research institutes, academic departments, and health services workers to practise epidemiology. They are appropriate for people interested in pursuing careers in epidemiology studies, academics working in other fields of health, and other health-related professionals. Our Public Health And Epidemiology diploma course is also beneficial for those who require a basic understanding of epidemiology, like medical journalists, research scholars, and others working in related areas with various government departments and businesses.  What you will learn   1:Introducing epidemiology  2:Measuring disease and health  3:Identifying the causes  4:Establishing the causes  5:Controlling a disease  6:Following up  7:Past experiences  8:Mapping disease and health  9:To a healthy life  10:Ethics and politics  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college. Assessment Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to the next chapter. Accreditation Elearn College is a registered Ed-tech company under the UK Register of Learning( Ref No:10062668). After completing a course, you will be able to download the certificate and the transcript of the course from the website. For the learners who require a hard copy of the certificate and transcript, we will post it for them for an additional charge.

You’ve decided to home educate and are moving away from a schooled approach. Your child is happier but there are niggling worries as their schooled peers are focused on academics. Your child recoils at the very suggestion of a workbook, reading to you, or reciting numbers.  The months and years pass and your child is still making their own choices but the gap between them and their schooled peers is widening. Your child might not be interested in reading yet, and you can't see how maths is being used and developed at all.  The idea that they might ever write an essay for entry into university or sit an exam seems miles away from where they are right now and, without direct teaching, you're not sure how they will ever learn these academic skills. Dr Naomi Fisher, clinical psychologist and home educating parent to two Self Directed Learners, and Heidi Steel, qualified teacher and parent to four always unschooled learners, share their professional and personal experiences of learning without school in this webinar how you're child will learn the academic skills that they need.

Data has become the most important resource for every organisation – but the insights gained from data analysis will only ever be truly valuable if they can be clearly expressed to other people.  This course is for anybody who works with data, and needs to communicate the meaning that's in the numbers to colleagues, customers, bosses or external stakeholders.  It will give you or your team the confidence and skills to translate raw data into compelling visual stories for your key audiences. The principles and skills covered apply to the simplest PowerPoint chart, to more complex interactive visualisations.  We’ll work with you before the course to ensure that we understand your organisation and what you’re hoping to achieve.  Sample learning content Session 1: What makes a great data-driven story The key elements of a successful infographic or presentation. Industry best practice, and discussion of good (and bad) examples. A simple framework for identifying the Audience, Story and Action. Session 2: Data in context How to balance function and aesthetic appeal. Identifying the right graph, chart, infographic or other visual. Framing the data and providing contextual information. Session 3: Designing for the human brain Using colours to add emphasis and meaning. Design and layout principles, and creating hierarchies of information. The principle of ‘self-sufficiency’, and removing clutter. Session 4: Navigation and narrative Tailoring visualisations for different types of communications. Structuring presentations and longer reports. Thinking in layers to create interactive dashboards. Delivery We deliver our courses over Zoom, to maximise flexibility. The training can be delivered in a single day, or across multiple sessions. All of our courses are live and interactive – every session includes a mix of formal tuition and hands-on exercises. To ensure this is possible, the number of attendees is capped at 16 people.  Tutor Alan Rutter is the founder of Fire Plus Algebra. He is a specialist in communicating complex subjects through data visualisation, writing and design. He teaches for General Assembly and runs in-house training for public sector clients including the Home Office, the Department of Transport, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Health Foundation, and numerous local government and emergency services teams. He previously worked with Guardian Masterclasses on curating and delivering new course strands, including developing and teaching their B2B data visualisation courses. He oversaw the iPad edition launches of Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair and Vogue in the UK, and has worked with Condé Nast International as product owner on a bespoke digital asset management system for their 11 global markets.
 Testimonial “I was familiar with Alan’s work as a Guardian Masterclass instructor on data visualisation and digital journalism, which made it easy for me to recommend him for onsite training at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. We had a large group of people interested in honing their abilities to depict their research and stories in engaging ways. Alan’s course provided great insight about common communication pitfalls and how to avoid them, how to become better communicators by understanding the audience diversity, and it showcased some great online tools for creating infographics. This should be mandatory training for all students, academics, report writers and those involved with conveying research to the media as it will help increase the clarity and accessibility of our own research stories.”
