Om episode
Man, January went so long that we barely had time to stop to record our February preview. But whether in a car or on a boat, we’ve got behavior analytic discussions to fill 29 days. This month we’re joined by guest, Dr. Noor Syed, to review her work on creating sustainable equitable practices in research and higher education. We also begin with the first part in what we hope will be an ongoing discussion about neurodiversity and review some recent articles on combatting workplace burnout, courtesy of our Patreon listeners. And, yes, Rob really recorded this episode from his (parked) car. Articles for February 2024 (LISTENER CHOICE) Preventing Burnout Novack, M.N. & Dixon, D.R. (2019).
