Attending the annual conference of the National Communication Association is generally exciting because of the opportunity to present new research, (re)connect with colleagues from across the discipline and buddies from grad school, and of course explore a new city.

This is the first of those videos, describing Project 1, led by Dr. Glen Hood (Dept. of Biological Sciences).
