My highlight of WCLC24

After years of admiring and reading the work of the Boricua, Ciencias Médicas UPR grad who ‘MADE it’ – as faculty as a researcher focused on Lung Cancer screening in Latinos and Puerto Rico, who is a mentor to so many, and a champion of diversity and inclusion — I finally met him!

And best part is, Efrén J. Flores is even nicer than I imagined!
