Conferences that intentionally don’t offer a virtual option only prohibit access to knowledge for folks whose circumstances (monetary, family, work, health) preclude in-person attendance. “Sure, 3 days in Bora Bora listening to world experts on topic X sounds great but….” 🤷🏾♂️
@MGBayerl_MD I also think that right now it is politically very important for people to understand that this happens to so so very many women, and exacerbating their suffering is the height of cruelty.
Unpopular opinion: Hybrid conferences should be here to stay. This is an inclusivity and accessibility issue, particularly for attendees from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). 🧵1/11
Yesterday someone who is on Medicare Part D asked in disbelief: Will my annual prescription drug costs really be capped because of the new Senate bill?
Yes
All drugs
Every drug
All drugs combined
Total $2000 for whole year
Shout it from the rooftops.
