Reasons I will not attend #ASC2022 in person: 1. My hospital is in crisis 2. I am a mom to a 4 year old
Why am I announcing this publicly on Twitter? Because hundreds of trainees who felt so proud and honored to be invited to present their work now feel frightened and unsure /1
They worry that if they voice their concern and not attend, faculty (who have largely remained silent) will not support them, @JSurgRes might not publish their work, and it could jeopardize future leadership positions within @AcademicSurgery /2
