One of the most important ways to support professional societies is to help them accomplish their mission - even amidst uncertainty. Donate a small amount to a nonprofit you care about. Mine is @asecsoffice.bsky.social. Join me?
We're 30% towards our goal for the @asecsoffice.bsky.social Grad Student Conference Fund Challenge! The Executive Board will match all donations made by Mon Feb. 3, up to $1,000! $10 or $100 - it all makes a difference.
