SHOT Redux! What we learned at the SHOT meeting

The popular SHOT Redux returns, with our own Ben Gross moderating. Please join us to discuss SHOT's annual meeting, which will have just taken place. This is a chance to discuss highlights and new directions, and to learn what went on if you were not able to attend. This will have been SHOT's first virtual meeting, so please come prepared to discuss the pros and cons of meeting this way.
