“It was an incredible honor to receive the inaugural AWS DEI award. At UAB, we take great pride in creating open and safe environments for all trainees and faculty to thrive, thanks to the visionary leadership of Drs. Britney Corey, Graeme McFarland, Sara Pereira, Colin Martin and Herb Chen,” said Shao. “The opportunity to attend this conference and further connect with leaders who are also in this space allows for collaborative discussions to continue across the institutions as well. I hope to apply what I learn to keep lifting those up.”
