Jemma Arakelyan: A fantastic first day at ACLC24 in Hong Kong

Jemma Arakelyan shared a post on LinkedIn:

”Had a fantastic first day at ACLC24 in Hong Kong! I enjoyed engaging sessions for young professionals and was inspired by incredible women leaders in oncology. One takeaway that resonated with me was from Dr. Heather Wakelee: ‘I made research my hobby, so I do it in my clinic free time. And I don’t complain about not having a hobby.’

To top it all off, the national dragon dance surprised all the participants and guests at the end! Huge thanks to the organizers for a wonderful day. Excited for what’s ahead!”
