Phew, Team LIBRE made it back to Boston safely after a whirlwind week in Chicago<\/strong>, IL for the American Burn Association 47th<\/sup> Annual Meeting<\/a><\/strong>. The week was packed full of meetings<\/strong> with burn survivor groups and burn clinicians, giving and attending presentations<\/strong>, displaying our research through posters<\/strong>, and talking<\/strong> with people at our LIBRE booth while handing out chocolate and LIBRE information.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know, the American Burn Association <\/a><\/strong>is an amazing nationwide organization dedicated to improving the quality of care for burn survivors. Its members are dedicated to supporting burn-related research, education, care, rehabilitation and prevention.<\/strong> We are so thankful for their support and for the opportunity to attend their annual meeting!<\/p>\n

We want to thank everyone that stopped by our LIBRE booth<\/strong> to say hi and talk more about our project and everyone who visited one of our presentations or posters. It was a pleasure to be able to continue to spread the word about LIBRE and start conversations with individuals about the impact burn injury has on daily life.<\/p>\n
