Thank you to everyone who attended and presented for a FANTASTIC #lesss2026!! The sessions were enriching, the chat was hopping, and we feel invigorated knowing there are so many #evidencesynthesis colleagues out there doing important, impactful work!

#lesss2026 - impacts of librarians teaching ES appraisal skills rather than review conduct at NIU. Well done! #medlibs #evidencesynthesis

The #LESSS2026 symposium is SO GOOD. Probably the best run virtual conference I've ever attended. Shoutout to the @lesssymposium.bsky.social organizers, moderators, presenters, etc. All the content is great, it's impeccably run, and engagement in the chat/materials is so high.

The *final* day of #lesss2026 starts soon and, while our brains are full to bursting with new #evidencesynthesis service ideas, we're sad to see the end approaching! 🥲🥲🥲

it's complicated to change an existing #evidencesynthesis service currently in motion. Doable, but takes process and buy-in. May give pause to others who are thinking about starting a service #lesss2026 #medlibs

Librarians: "Use clear, consistent file names." Also librarians during a systematic review: export.ris, export2.ris, export(2).ris, export(2)_1.ris 😅 #LESSS2026
