Announcing Lyfebulb's Fireside Chat Series

Dear Lyfebulb Community:

HAPPY SUMMER! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Fireside Chat series, Lyfebulb's newest virtual event format. The goal of this series is to highlight conversations across several chronic disease states touching on the current landscape, the influence of COVID-19 and real experiences, as well as practical solutions for living with a chronic disease.

Our first Fireside Chat will be between two Lyfebulb community members in active recovery who have employed innovative solutions to adapt to the new normal created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please join us for an informal, chat-style discussion between Rebecca Rush & Lisa Smith, lightly moderated by Lyfebulb CEO Karin Hehenberger, MD, PhD.

Scientists Deserve Frontline Status Too
by Karin Hehenberger, MD, PhD

The COVID-19 crisis has brought out the best in people, but also some of the worst. I hear people speaking with great skepticism about the development of vaccines and treatments that are progressing at the fastest pace ever right now. My personal background is based on medical science and I believe in understanding problems deeply before addressing them to develop solutions. I am also very practical in my science approach; the solutions aspect is key to impacting people’s lives and that is what is critical to me.
