"My regular attendance at AABB Annual Meetings has directly impacted my career trajectory in many wonderful ways. The people I have met have yielded productive and fruitful collaborations. The mentorship I didn't even know I needed would come up naturally in person and has made me a better transfusion medicine physician and person. I know every year will bring something different - and just as special."
