TNTLAB at SIOP 2019

It appears that TNTLAB’s move to the University of Minnesota is not slowing us down, as we’ve had another banner-year in terms of SIOP activity, with 13 distinct events for SIOP 2019! That ties our previous record (of 13) two years ago.  If you’re interested in following TNTLAB events at SIOP, here is a convenient list. Come see us!
