And what better way to do that than welcome Dr. Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi to share her research and work in the areas of cultural humility.

Once again, our pal, Matt Cicoria, from the Behavioral Observations podcast joins us to sum up the biggest goings on in the field of behavior analysis throughout the long, dark year that was 2021.  And then we decided to ignore all of the prepared topics and just engage in some off-track discussions on what we've been doing to make it to 2022.  Think of it as our own self-care through podcasting.
