So grateful for the patience and generosity of the #MSUGlobalDH community, and especially our presenters who were able to switch gears on the fly to make sure we could hear everyone's work.

Jesse Draper @jessedraperhnet.bsky.social · Apr 8

Kudos to @tophkat.bsky.social and @kmapesy.bsky.social and the presenters for handling the inevitability of tech issues in virtual presentations with patience and professionalism.

All presenters were able to share their work despite pesky audio issues at the beginning. #MSUGlobalDH
