The 2022 Annual Meeting for the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) was held in Los Angeles, CA from Oct 25 to Oct 29. It is the biggest human genetics conference, with 7,000 registrants this year. It is the first in-person ASHG conference for our graduate students. Yitang, Shuang, and Huifang had poster presentations. We all had a great time enjoying the great science and meeting friends.
