“I attended a PIA business meeting during my first AAIC and it turned out to be the best decision of the
conference. It was wonderful to meet a group of people that focused on related research, with in-depth
scientific discussions, and a group of dedicated people that really want to advance the field. Ever since, I’ve
been actively involved with ISTAART’s PIAs.”
