Summary
As summer winds down, we're still brining the heat with some hot research topics to discuss. First up, what's the deal with token economies? Is one of our oldest applied technologies still all it's cracked up to be? Then Dr. Meg Martineau has some thoughts on sustainability research for those of us who'd prefer some of our surface areas don't become beachfront property in the next 50 years. And, while we take a much needed vacation, enjoy some bonus episodes discussing the awesome, inaugural Black Applied Behavior Analysis conference and an interview with applied animal behaviorist Dr. Patricia McConnell (featured on our recent book club cast).

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast that's like reading in your car, but safer. We are here at the tail end of summer. It's August 2021. And we're here for a little preview of what's to come in the ABA Inside Track schedule for this month. I'm joined, well, I'm joined by myself, |
| 0:39.9 | Robert Perry Cruz, as well as by my fabulous co-hosts. |
| 0:44.2 | Hi, Rob, it's Diana. And I'm Jackie on vacation location. I know. |
| 0:50.0 | I am in upstate New York at my parent's house, and that is why I am zooming, not because I have COVID, but because I'm not around. |
| 1:00.6 | That's right. |
| 1:01.3 | Because it's vacation. |
| 1:02.5 | That's right. |
| 1:03.1 | It is vacation. |
| 1:04.4 | And speaking of things taking a vacation, Jackie, you're not going to be here for this. |
| 1:09.4 | We think last recording session in front of the orange curtains, which have been our backdrop, |
| 1:15.3 | which is a terrible backdrop. |
| 1:16.9 | It is clashes. |
| 1:18.4 | You cannot put any text on it without it looking like garbage. |
| 1:21.6 | It's pretty signature, though. |
| 1:22.8 | For the past five years, this has been our backdrop. |
| 1:25.3 | We are finally, we finally did some, some work in our |
| 1:27.9 | basement. So we're going to move down and have a little storage slash recording room down there. |
| 1:33.2 | You have a new studio. Just tell everyone. Yeah, sorry, we'll have a new studio. We got the new studio. |
| 1:39.0 | You don't have to tell people that it's in the basement. You can just say it's a whole new studio. |
| 1:42.2 | It's a whole new studio. So probably the next time you see one of these preview episodes, it'll have a whole different background, which I think the wall you're talking about will also be horrible to put text on. So we will, we'll see. We'll figure something out. We will angle it differently. We'll see. Who knows? We got some nice walls's the end of an era. Yep. So that's one vacation. |
| 2:02.6 | I know. |
