Friendly reminder: AHA EPI|Lifestyle abstract submissions are due one week from today! It is a fantastic meeting which is very welcoming of trainees and early career folks, so get those abstracts in! #EpiLifestyle25
Save these dates for #EpiLifestyle25! New Orleans is the place to be for insightful discussions, leading epidemiology and lifestyle science, and networking with colleagues old and new.
