    Sketching In Practice Mendeley Group

    Hello Everyone,

    It has been a while! Jason and I have started a Sketching in Practice Mendeley group. To quote Wikipedia, “Mendeley is a desktop and web program produced by Elsevier for managing and sharing research papers, discovering research data and collaborating online.” If you are writing papers or just interested, you are welcome to join our group! Just go to Mendeley groups and search “Sketching In Practice” (be sure to put the name in quotation marks or you will get thousands of results). Group is open for anyone to join.

    We are starting to prepare for SKiP June 2020!! More to come, soon.
