    Friday, December 02, 2022 | By

    Avery, Nikki, and Brittney traveled to Toronto for the 2022 ONTABACon (https://ontaba.org). There they shared the poster from Dublin with a new audience. Qi and Gifty also participated in ONTABACon. Qi shared a presentation with her Brock colleagues titled, “Exploratory Analysis of Sentiment Toward ABA on Twitter.” Gifty shared a poster with her Brock colleagues titled, “Trends in Practicum Experiences.” It was a great opportunity to get to know the local behaviour analysis community and connect with classmates and friends.
