2023 begins with some belated gifts, not to mention a plethora of episodes and Inside Track goings-on. This month we’ll be talking with Dr. Maranda Trahan and Amanda Ripley about gerontology, Dr. Jamie Hughes-Lika about NDBIs, and ourselves about visual supports (including Rob’s favorite research story of 2022). Interested in joining the Winter Book Club on the topic of parenting? How about voting on an ethics topic for February? All that can be yours by supporting us on Patreon (but better do it soon!)
