Axel Robison At The Lifestyle American Heart Association Conference.

The American Heart Association Conference focuses on advancements in cardiovascular health, research, and treatments. It's a significant event where experts gather to discuss new findings, innovative therapies, and prevention strategies related to heart disease and stroke. Lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and stress management, often feature prominently as they play a crucial role in heart health. These conferences help shape guidelines and policies aimed at improving cardiovascular outcomes worldwide.

Axel taking about his experience -

“I was invited by my mentor to present our findings at the EPI Lifestyle American Heart Association Conference. What I presented was a part of our total findings, I only presented about insomnia phenotypes and their association with hypertension. My presentation was part of a moderated poster presentation, meaning that my abstract was selected by the conference committee to be presented in front of people. Most people just brought their board but did not actually present. There was a moderator with a crowd of people who were all wearing headsets, and I presented my poster into a microphone. I met all of the other presenters of the other moderated posters, there were about 5 moderated posters in total for my section. After my presentation there was a time for people in the audience to ask questions that I had to answer.”

After this event Axel was quaited in the health science section of US NEWS saying “Our findings are important because they call attention to the need to listen to teens who complain of disturbed sleep, to monitor and assess their sleep objectively and help them improve it in order to prevent heart problems early,” first author Axel Robinson, a 17-year-old senior at Pelham Memorial High School in Pelham, N.Y., said in a news release
