Thumbs up

1. c
2. c
3. helped me realize complexities of the technology that I didn't appreciate before, and helped guide questions on new approaches - some answers/hints to be found in the presentation and abstracts, but mostly to ask better questions of docs I'm meeting
4. although the high degree of technical jargon is typical for scientific presentations, a list of the abbreviated key terms would at least help people look up what they might want to find out more about.

I really appreciated having an overview of all of the presentations though. It makes it much easier to identify abstracts for follow up - and questions for the docs and other experts we ultimately have to rely on.

Knowledge is power as you say - even if we all, doctors included, have to keep asking questions. Complex problems seldom have simple answers.

Thanks again for helping us along the journey!
