February 2021 Preview

While the month may be short on days, it’s certainly not short on awesome behavior analytic content! When we’re not giving each other virtual flowers, we’re finding awesome, new guests to share their knowledge with us. Between discussions of turn-taking, best practice teaching in higher education, and traumatic brain injury, February’s episodes will be as delicious and varied as a Valentine’s box of chocolate.
