Dear MDSG members,

Just a reminder that our workshop session starts in just a few minutes, at 12:30pm! Looking forward to seeing those of you who are able to attend!

We will be meeting in the Plaza Ballroom E, to discuss the readings below. But if you haven't read them in advance, don't worry! We'd love to have you join us anyways, and we'll be summarizing the readings briefly so you can participate the conversation.
