Heeeeey, it's Rob's birthday. And rather than watch the time-caper thriller "Happy Death Day 2U" like he wanted to, let's have a February preview. This month we kick things off with a trip to the gallery of line graphs to discuss improvements in visual inspection methodology. After that, we'll be joined by Dr. John O'Neill to learn about how behavior analysis can inform research into improving police training. Finally, we revisit a tangentially-discussed topic with articles reviewing a multitude of ways to utilize self-monitoring. Then I'm promised we can eat cake and play video games. Also, don't forget to join us on February 26th @ 7pm at Ground Effect Brewery in Hudson, MA for our very first ABA Trivia evening!
