Teri's one of the brains behind IRIS, our project that helps people connect to shared resources in their communities. Much deserved!

To celebrate the new year, we commissioned a short story by Robin Sloan, best-selling author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore and Sourdough.
It's a bit of a love-letter to Lawrence KS, and a celebration of learning new things.

Another exciting win for the IRIS platform! Big congrats to our partners @CPPRMedia here
With $3.7M from @HHSGov, @KUSocialWelfare and @CPPRMedia researchers and partners will demonstrate how community support systems can address and alleviate family stressors before they become crises resulting in contact with the child welfare system.

Really enjoying that github shared some stats and people refuse to believe it’s a rails monolith serving all those requests.

This week, the Kansas Technical Assistance System Network (TASN) surpassed 20,000 registered users.
That represents 20,000 parents and teachers who are using this tool to receive training and assistance towards educating students with special needs.
Huge congrats to the TASN team at @ksdehq. It's been immensely rewarding for us to be a part of this project!
