We're hosting our first AMRG academic writing day today! We've started the day off with some clear goals, and have a schedule planned of 4 (silent!) working blocks with built in breaks ! We're hoping that the group accountability and dedicated time will pay off in productivity!

Folks it’s 2024, can we collectively agree that it’s no longer acceptable to play #BandAid ‘Do they know it’s #Christmas’ on the radio… 🤦🏻‍♀️ aside from being highly problematic it’s also just not a good song 🤷🏻‍♀️
