ASH ANNUAL MEETING EDITION
The ASH Whiteboard Wall
“As a hematologist, how do you build
resilience & face factors that might
contribute to professional burnout?”
This year, annual meeting organizers continued a tradition established
at the 58th ASH Annual Meeting: The ASH Whiteboard Wall. In response
to the question posed above, graphic artists then illustrated the answers
on a giant whiteboard on display in the Georgia World Congress Center.
The following Tweets captured the images:
