Remember the language of the Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. acquisition by Sage? “With this acquisition, we will honor and build upon Mary Ann Liebert’s legacy while growing the portfolio’s reach and impact”? Sadly, many of the Mary Ann Liebert staff have been 'let go' by Sage yesterday.

Good luck to all the small businesses, researchers and consultants out there. I am just a tiny cog in research and publishing but have lost two contracts and unpaid contracts due to US economic and research policy actions. These are difficult times with terrible tides to navigate
