Love the cameo by Nala and Maui for all the Med Twitter dog moms out there!”
Quoting ASCO’s post:
“Last week’s ASCO Advocacy Summit brought together 170+ ASCO volunteers in DC, advocating to end drug shortages, support robust federal research funding, and expand telehealth.
Follow along with Dr. Ana I. Velázquez Mañana for a Day In The Life of advocacy training, Hill meetings, and more!”
