It's your absolute last chance to AUA (Ask Us Anything) so don't miss out! You can ask us about systematic reviews or you can ask about kittens. You can ask us about great restaurants, favorite hobbies, or searching PubMed!

All you have to do is ask! @carrieprice.bsky.social @tcshields.bsky.social

A new episode, in which Tracy and I discuss which kind of fruit picking (cherry, blueberry, strawberry…) is appropriate for evidence synthesis.

Answer? None.
