Hi!
Reminders
Please check out the intro here if you haven’t already, and don’t forget about my resources for PR professionals :)
EOD for me means 11:59pm, but the earlier the better!
If you mention a study or say “research,” please link it!
Feel free to forward this email (and future emails) to experts or PRs who may be able to help :)
