Would you like to regale your colleagues with your theory about medical specialties as D&D classes? Do you believe you’ve solved the mystery on your favorite true crime podcast? Do you feel the need to publicly rank minor Disney characters? Do you have shower thoughts about the snail illustrations in illuminated manuscripts that should be public? Are you really passionate about mushroom foraging and want us to be, too? Do none of these sound appealing to you, but you are subject to peer pressure and would like to have a good time with your medical library friends? Please create a 3-minute PowerPoint on the (preferably niche) topic of your choosing, then join us to share your screen and your heart, and be prepared to defend your unpopular opinions!
