  • 1.  MLA 2025 Meetup in Pittsburgh

    Posted 25 days ago

    Hello HSIG members! Who is attending MLA 2025 in Pittsburgh next week? I'm doing an interest check to see who may want to meet up and/or have an informal HSIG dinner on one of the nights. Reply below or email me at jules.bailey@fsu.edu if interested. 

    Also--please share your session if you're presenting! I will be presenting a poster "Use of Automation Tools in Systematic Reviews and Other Evidence Synthesis" on Thursday from 2:10-2:15

    I will attend MLA, and I am in the process of arranging my evening schedule. It would be nice to know when HSIG members want to meet.

    I think Jules Bailey's poll (https://www.when2meet.com/?30309158-gWOhB) indicates that most people are available at 6 pm on Thursday. I can join you for a lunch on Friday.
