Thank you for filling this out!

Whatever your reasons are, I am happy to have you as part of this great endeavor. I believe that the impact that AI can bring to creating better treatments and diagnostics with less bias is immeasurable. Reducing bias is something that can affect us all by making treatments that are more representative of different demographic groups.
