The BABAT conference in Massachusetts is all done, but that doesn't mean the fun is over. Stay with us a while as we discuss our favorite talks, reflect on the highs of the conference, and bother a bunch of students until they agree to talk about their research on our show. Remember, we made this episode instead of getting a good night's sleep in our discount hotel beds.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track Special Babbit 2017 edition. I'm your host, Robert Perry Cruz. I'm here in lovely Amherst, Massachusetts. |
| 0:23.1 | Technically, we're staying outside of Amherst, Massachusetts, because we saved a lot of money on our |
| 0:27.4 | hotel, and I'm joined with... Hey, it's Diana. Hey, Diana. How are you? |
| 0:33.4 | I'm good. How are you? This is a spacious room that we're recording in right now. |
| 0:39.1 | Unfortunately, Jackie cannot be here because she had brought her baby with her, |
| 0:44.0 | and so she needs some mom baby time. |
| 0:46.5 | We slept our kids off to a babe, to my mom's for the night. |
| 0:51.1 | So we don't have to worry about that anymore. |
| 0:57.8 | So we're here after the first day of Babbitt, and we have had a fun experience. We've had a number of people to mention that they've |
