I couldn't imagine a better way to spend the last days than with my #hapc family from near and far. Our fellowship now has enough alumni to have a real alumni dinner! Grateful to the academy and those in it for creating such an amazing community at #hapc25

Say it louder for the people in the back!
I'm going to be honest with you, anonymous conference attendee.

You are not loud enough to ask your question without a microphone. Go line up at the mic and make sure people can hear the question. People have hearing loss. Rooms have speakers for a reason. (also don't tell a story)
February 7, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Thanks for the recognition @realbowtiedoc.bsky.social. You're the master encourager and we are so lucky you're part of our group!
