SHOUT-OUT for Precision Teaching in Europe

This meeting of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior Group is over for the year, but I'm posting so that you can see what was presented, perhaps be inspired to attend or present next year, and to give a laudatory shout-out for the work in Precision Teaching being done in Europe.

It's stated that a Special Issue of the European Journal of Behavior Analysis (EJOBA) will be dedicated to the Meeting.
