Jyotsana Parajuli, Associate Professor at University of North Carolina at Charlotte, shared on LinkedIn:
“Attending my first SIOG – International Society of Geriatric Oncology Annual Conference in Valencia, Spain last week was such a whirlwind of an experience. It was so exciting to finally meet my mentor/collaborator of 5 years Grant Williams, in person for the first time. It was also great seeing Enrique Soto Perez de Celis as always and finally connecting with my Nursing, Allied Health, and Scientists (NAHS) interest group colleagues Kristen Haase and Sandi Vonnes and other colleagues from this group. Most exciting of all, it was great meeting people whose work I cite or deeply admire in this field.
Highlights included:
- Presenting a poster on ‘Palliative and Supportive Care Needs of Older Adults with Cancer.
- A rapid oral presentation on the same poster in the NAHS poster walk.
- Co-facilitating a Geriatric Assessment Workshop with my NAHS colleagues. I presented on ‘social support’.
I came back learning so much and more energized to continue my work on improving lives of older adults with cancer and their family caregivers.”
