* Your Hard Work Rewarded: The Scholarship Continues on GSA’s

Meeting Platform

by James Appleby November 7, 2020 To the 4,000+ researchers, clinicians and educators who’ve joined us so far for the GSA Annual Scientific Meeting _Online_: THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE. In the middle of a pandemic, the science and insights you presented moved the field forward. You made the meeting a success and paved the way for GSA to host more online conferences for you in the future should the need arise. The content on the meeting platform will be accessible through the end of this year. (We’re still accepting new registrations

through the end

of the year, too.) This new format brought a valuable alternative to in-person meetings. Chief among the benefits is the easy access to so

much scholarship.
