2019 AMIA Informatics Summit in San Francisco, CA
Every year, March comes in like a lion. For CLE, that could translate into a spring blizzard or early bulbs. It’s anyone’s guess. One thing’s for sure, though–AMIA’s Informatics Summit has a say before March leaves us like a lamb. Like clockwork, the 2019 AMIA Informatics Summit, formerly the Joints Summits on Translational Science, was […]

American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2018 in San Diego, CA
Before becoming a member of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) and attending the annual meeting, I was not all that familiar with San Diego. Sure, we had visited a time or two as kids, but geez, that was a long time ago. Now we go so often, San Diego seems like a second […]
