I had an idea and I cannot tell if it is genius or unbelievably stupid. The next time I have a poster accepted at a conference, I just want to bring a white board and talk through my project on the board, chalk talk style, instead of using an actual poster.

Look, I love ABCT, but this cannot actually be useful information for presentation reviewers and just creates more work for authors/submissions: Please provide a brief (2-3 sentence), de-identified description of the expertise of the contributing team as it relates to this submission

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.
