The Red Ribbon Connect program, created by Timethius Terrell and managed by Amy Onorato, is featured in the latest issue of Penn Today.
Red Ribbon Connect links Penn with HIV/AIDS researchers worldwide
Organized by a recent Penn alum on the Community Advisory Board of the Penn Center for AIDS Research, the newly launched Red Ribbon Connect program entails a monthly virtual exchange for HIV/AIDS researchers at Penn and worldwide to swap insights and perspectives.
“The only way to prevent, to eradicate, to eventually cure HIV and AIDS, is to look at it from different angles and to have people in the same room not just talking, but actively putting their brains together to figure out what that looks like in these different cases,” Terrell says. “And Red Ribbon Connect is meant to be that platform.”
