SUMMARY:MD Newsroom: Share & Yield
DESCRIPTION:Dear ISMD Members\, \nWe’d like to invite you to the first session of a new recurring cross-team initiative: the MD Newsroom: Share & Yield. \nWhile we usually work within our specialized circles\, the “Newsroom” is designed as a broad meeting for all of us to converge. The goal is to create a shared space to exchange the latest insights\, findings\, and developments regarding Maladaptive Daydreaming within the global “infosphere.” \nWe know that many of you independently encounter relevant news\, academic papers\, or public discussions. Whether you have found a significant scientific update or a minor but interesting observation\, this meeting is the space to share those discoveries and brainstorm new ideas. \nThe philosophy of Share & Yield is that by sharing individual “finds\,” the entire Society yields a richer\, more cohesive understanding of the current MD landscape. This collective intelligence is vital not only for our growth\, but also for better defining the direction and impact we want to impress upon the ISMD as we move forward. \nOur inaugural meeting will take place on:Thursday\, March 26th\, at 2:00 PM UTC (3:00 pm London Time) via Google Meet. Link we’ll be sent only to ISMD Members.
