@SPSPnews schedule has me smiling wide! What's the opposite of schadenfreude? I'm taking joy in seeing so many friends and mentors will be presenting and leading symposia! This thread is just to promote some of their sessions.

Awesome move. @SPSPnews offers ombuds services at the conference. It'd be great if this was standard practice! https://t.co/nyTIElxJ7P
