Hey there #iPres2023 folks who were in person in Champaign: how is everyone feeling? I've mostly lost my voice + have a headache and mild cough. I'm still testing COVID-negative so far, but curious if anyone else is feeling poorly. Thanks!
It's been a hard post-conference crash after #iPres2023, especially after spending the last two days helping my parents move into a temporary apartment while selling their current home and moving into a ranch.
