Although I am supposed to have my AL in August after having a terrible summer with my mum in the hospital, THIS ⬇️ makes me happy. Abstracts submitted and I am looking forward to the new academic year. Sending love to all my colleagues who support me in this difficult time.🫶.
If you are about to go on leave why not submit an abstract for the 10th ICEVI European Conference before you go - that's another job done! .
