So happy and proud of my colleague Jasmine.A.Mcdonald.PHD. She is a rock star in the classroom, an amazing mentor to so many, and just an awesome person.

Mixed-methods can help achieve this!

When we 1st (Sheetal Hardikar @nikkiniehoff) organized American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) Early Career Session on #resiliency, we had no idea we'd still be in the Pandemic.
