Dear ARSTM members,
I am seeking volunteers to review manuscripts for an upcoming special issue
of *POROI*. In partnership with *POROI*, ARSTM will edit a special issue
drawn from the 2026 ARSTM @NCA Preconference. You do not need to have
attended the preconference to serve as a reviewer. We welcome reviewers
from across the membership whose expertise spans the rhetoric of science,
technology, and medicine.
If you are interested, please complete this short form by *December 1, 2026*:
