Hey aea365ers, Sheila B. Robinson here, aea365’s Lead Curator and sometimes Saturday contributor with an update on what YOU are reading.

Hot Tip: Definitely some great authors and great reading in that group. And hey, I’m in there too (it was a surprise to me!). It’s clear that our readers like to learn about new resources and innovative ways to use them in evaluate work. All of those post links are still live of course, so seize the moment and catch up on anything that you may have missed!
Cool Trick: Want a chance to see your name in this list a year from now? It could happen! Send me a note of interest at aea365@eval.org. I’d love to hear from you.
Congratulations to our Top 10 authors and many thanks to them for their wonderful contributions.
