Due to pandemic-related travel restrictions and other factors, we had many exciting presentations lined up for the 2022 annual Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology Conference that had to be withdrawn. Hence, we decided to host a followup event, an asynchronous Online Symposium as a companion to the in-person conference.
