Dear reader, thank you so much for being part of the KTNET sharing platform.  We are indeed privileged to have you contribute to the discussions as we strive to maximize the impact of research evidence. For a long time now, we have focused our blogs on KT and communication and some posts have stimulated interesting discussions and ideas.
