Come learn about reproductive process models, demographic data, and more in Boulder or online Nov. 11-13. Apply to join me, @lesja.bsky.social, and legend Jane Menken, with talks from others working in this area. Being wrong about birthrates is easy. But being right isn't *too* hard and we'll help!
