We now have a *preliminary* detailed schedule available. Check it out! 🤓

I saw on Twitter earlier that maybe there won't be a NELS this (next?) year and my first thought was "so what?"

What value does NELS even provide?

This is a daily reminder that Maria #Montessori abandoned her own child so she could get a university degree in medicine and build a career telling women how to be mothers & carers.

So, stop feeling guilty about these hours you spend in the lab, writing, or teaching.
