The current admin is Marina Esmeraldo.

We want this to be a fun, pleasant, and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.

Please keep what's said in lectures, Q&A’s, and among POD members within their Instagram PODs confidential. Don't repeat or quote things said here without the affirmative consent of the speaker(s).

Please be mindful that things you say here may at some point become public. While we expect members to honor the confidentiality of this space, we cannot guarantee that they will do so--nor can we guarantee that every member's login credentials and logged-in devices are secure.
