So excited to be able to present virtually at #ASC2022!!! While I’m disappointed I won’t be able to attend in person and meet new people, this is definitely a stress reducer for me personally. Grateful to mentors and leaders who have our back no matter what situation we are in!!

If you act like everyone is going to get omicron anyway, you will get omicron. If you take precautions & try your best not to get omicron, you may not get it. If we take precautions, we can also delay infections. We prevent hospitals from being so totally overwhelmed.
