Add yourself to our CogKNITive Listeners Map.

I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.

Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.

There will NOT be a CFR (Cogknitive Fiber Retreat) this year.

I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.

I would've _loved_ a CFR, but with the ongoing pandemic and what I can only assume my financial situation will look like later this year, I'm guessing international travel is off the table. Oh well, maybe in the future.

Also, a tip for listeners who think you talk too fast: see if your podcast player has adjustable playback speed. Mine goes from 0.5x to 3.0x. Sometimes adjusting the speed just one or two steps makes a big difference in the listening experience.

That's all for now.

Eagerly awating the next episode,
Anna
