So glad to touch base with Sarah Fitzpatrick and Cinnamon Mittan! They were in town for the Midwest CASC meeting!
Enjoyed seeing Owen Cook and his assistant, Eve, at the University of Chicago Press, yesterday! They’ve got everything under control.
We read this paper for lab group and liked it a lot.
