When it came to our #SHPEreads program, graduate students were the main focus in 2023 and 2024. #SHPEreads: GRADS Edition brought together graduate students in monthly 90-minute meetings to read and discuss a journal article on a relevant topic. Each meeting was led by the paper’s author and gives graduate students the opportunity to not only learn from the author and the paper’s content but also from each other.
