CEO of @AABB in pursuit of connecting people and ideas to action. 🅾️+🩸donor. Wife, mom to 2 human monsters and 2 pups, inspired by many. My tweets are my own.

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

Blood donations are critical to help support those impacted by Hurricane Ian. @AABB urges eligible individuals in unaffected areas to schedule a donation as soon as possible. Take a moment and do this today!
As Hurricane Ian makes landfall in Florida, the AABB Interorganizational Task Force on Domestic Disasters and Acts of Terrorism strongly urges eligible individuals in unaffected areas throughout the U.S. to schedule a donation appointment. https://t.co/XXik3QmRMb

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
