Today is the 1st of July. July is the month for sharing some of my preliminary findings with fellow researchers in the field of psychology and counselling. I know that I am miles away from completing my overall data analysis, but there is no harm in communicating some parts of my thesis based on the preliminary analyses, isn't it? So, here are some updates regarding my past, upcoming, and future participation in conferences. Hope some of you could come and help me to improve my current work-in-progress.
