Dear CNSL section members,
This email highlights CNSL-sponsored JSM presentations by date. It would be great to see as many of you as possible at these sessions! Note that there will be voting for the best contributed paper award at the Sunday 2-3:50 pm session (this will occur through QR code at the session). Please let me know if I've missed any sessions here and I'll add them (and apologize in advance for any oversight) or please reply to the discussion if there are additional sessions of relevance to the section you'd like to highlight. Also note that I don't yet have information on relevant poster presentations so I've reached out to ASA for this information and will update as I can. If you're presenting a poster that you want to highlight to section members, it would be great if you replied to this discussion.
Thanks!
Sarah
