LYMEPOLICYWONK: My presentation to TBD Working Group
On December 11, I was privileged to address the inaugural meeting of the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group. This panel, established by the 21st Century Cures Act, brings together experts from a variety of disciplines as well as patient representatives, to inform federal action related to Lyme and related diseases.
The meeting was in Washington DC, and I delivered my remarks remotely. Watch my 10-minute presentation here.
