Jennifer Trowbridge: That’s a wrap ASH24

Jennifer Trowbridge, Professor at The Jackson Laboratory, shared a post on X:

“That’s a wrap ASH24!

Co-chairing the scientific program was an unforgettable experience.

Congratulations to the poster presenters, the oral abstract presenters, the invited speakers, the plenary presenters, late-breaking abstracts and those considered for ‘Best of ASH’!

A thread:

The annual ASH meeting is a result of dedicated work of many, many brilliant volunteers over 18+ months.

Scientific Committees (shout out to the chairs!), abstract reviewers, Committee for Scientific Affairs, Program Committee, Executive Committee. It’s amazing.

Behind the scenes, ASH staff are the most professional, hard-working partners that not only care deeply about hematology but also essential topics of DEI and health advocacy. They make the magic happen.

Shout out to Alice Kuaban, Kelly Rose and Patricia Frustace.

I leave ASH24 tired (obviously) but inspired.

Thank you to the basic scientists, the drug developers, the clinical trialists, the practicing physicians that bring their best science, successes and failures, and unique perspectives to this meeting.

I have learned more about the breadth and depth of the hematology field than I ever knew before.

I also learned that it’s near impossible to keep up with social media posts while also having the scientific program co-chair role (my bad!).

Lastly, a shout out to my co-chair Sant-Rayn Pasricha for a lot of laughs, for keeping an at-times challenging job light and fun, and for literally sharing the spotlight with me.

Wouldn’t have wanted to partner with anyone else. Hope to see everyone at ASH25!”
