One of the best parts of running Hippocampus Magazine is staying in touch with our contributors, our Hippocampus family! We love hearing about the continued achievements of these writers, as well as our staff members and past conference speakers. Each month, or as often as we have enough updates to create post, we like to share their good news!
A big congratulations to all! (Submit your news here for inclusion a future update.)
