“From humble Facebook-friend-request beginnings to maintaining AYAC for over a decade, today I got to speak about using social media in oncology for professional development with colleagues Maryam Lustberg, Dr. Molly Berry and Dr. Krishna Soujanya Gunturu at the COSMO24 conference .”

“Thank you Dr. Emily Drake for maintaining AYA. It’s our connector on social media to those in the AYAC space: Clinicians, Researchers, Patients, their loved ones, and the oh so important AYA Patient Advocacy Orgs.”
