Everybody, welcome to AVA inside tracks bonus episode.

Yes, it's a follow-up from our meeting in St. Louis, you might say, at the Thompson Center for Autism Conference.

If you've listened to our episode, it would have come out either this week or last week.

We were invited for another fabulous year to the conference, and we did a talk on parent training and parents

stress, which you can download now in your podcast machine.

You know, fun fact, it's good for one free CE for you behavior analysts out there.

But while we were there, we also had the fun privilege of getting to talk to a number of

students who are presenting at the Thompson Center for Autism Conference poster session. We really

love doing this because, A, it's great to learn sort of what students are working on in the field,

especially at a conference like the Thompson Center for Autism Conference, in that there are so many disciplines presenting.

So we see a lot of posters that are on, say, like neuroimaging, neuroscience,

or on outreach in the community, which you may not see at every behavior and analytic conference.

So it's very cool to kind of get a sense of what's going on out in the field of treatment for

individuals with autism. But also because I think it's something that I know I really appreciated.

I think Diane and Jackie also appreciated back when they were students as well is talking more

and more fluently about our science because you should be able to do that and it's not something that

necessarily comes easy for everybody, nor is it something you get to practice as frequently.

So any chance you have to talk precisely and using technological language, I think it's always good.
