SAVIR E-News: May 2021

Reflections from the President

Congratulations to everyone who participated in our 2021 virtual conference. The impressive science that was presented during the conference was a testament to what has been accomplished in injury and violence prevention despite the turmoil that we’ve faced over the last year. If nothing else, these challenging times further demonstrate the need for injury and violence prevention research. It was humbling to see the work that each of you have done to meet that need.
