For the second consecutive year, Dr. Carmenza Spadafora was part of the designated committee reviewing proposals for the Innovation Pitch Contest of ASTMH

The Innovations Pitch Competition is a TED Talk-style, rapid-pitch session held in front of a live audience at the Annual Meeting. Five finalists are selected to pitch their innovative ideas for a monetary prize. Winners have obtained $3,000, $5,000 and $10,000 award money to help them kickstart their ideas. This activity took place at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
