Proud of my son, Lev, for how he handled this entire ordeal with focus and composure. Grateful to @sethkugel and @nytimes for capturing the insanity and the bigger picture: it’s about resilience, not lost luggage.

Air France lost a Team USA fencer's equipment bag on his way to a Grand Prix tournament in Tunisia. For months, he followed every bizarre, inconsistent instruction they sent him – even providing a receipt for his boxer briefs – but never got reimbursed.

“You are seen, you are valued, you are necessary and you are appreciated now more than ever before!” — yes, @simontbailey — that is so true of every single member of the @AABB community. Inspiring words to bring that message and more to life at #AABB22

Flying to MN today and expected the worst. @Delta delivered an exceptional experience -- pilot was so communicative, and Michael our flight attendant just delivered a hand written note with vegan restaurant suggestions for our stay. Well done, Delta!

Have you ever donated blood to a blood bank to help others? We can thank Dr. Charles Richard Drew, a Black surgeon, professor, and blood transfusion and blood bank pioneer whose work has saved innumerable lives globally. https://t.co/oK28kTPoY7 #BHM #SmithsonianBHM

AABB is proud to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Angella D. Ferguson, a pioneering researcher who developed a blood test to detect #SCD in infants. The test is now standard in most states, helping clinicians better identify and care for people with SCD. https://t.co/zqw0FC4htL
