In Case You Missed It

Division 15 Announces One Tip

We are delighted to introduce our inaugural issue of One Tip! One Tip is a new initiative of the Division 15 Membership Committee. In this short essay, senior scholars are invited to share their stories and insights with junior researchers. Despite the title, you will often discover more than "one" tip in each issue. 

Dr. Bernie Weiner has written this first piece with brilliance and humor. At some parts, you will pause and ponder, and at others, you will find yourself laughing out loud. Find a PDF of the September 2017 Edition of One Tip here.
