Supporting real live artists isn't all that hard to do! Especially for the cover of a supposedly leading journal. Enough of this AI slop.

My advice for #2025SVP would be aimed not to students, who are excellent in our society and I am sure will do great but on senior academics. During Q&A, please resist the urge to grandstand or grill. Be polite, constructive, and supportive. That’s how we build a stronger, kinder community. #SVP2025
Many of our student attendees will be giving their first talk or poster this meeting! What advice you give them to help make it the best experience possible?
