Happy New Year! Let's hope it's a good one...
While we have had a bit of a break for the holidays and end of classes for the fall, Team SLiThEr has been busy planning. We have an exciting series of roundtable discussions on a variety of topics coming up for the spring. These events take place live via Zoom and are recorded for putting on our YouTube channel. If you aren't familiar with our SLiThEr events, you can see all of the previous ones in this new collection!

Thanks for the SLiThEr schedule, everyone! I can make the Thursday ones and look forward to them. (And I can watch the Wed ones on youtube.)
