Welcome to Season Two of AllergyTalk! In this season, we are going to introduce you to each of the Allergy Watch assistant editors who work so hard on scouring the literature in allergy and immunology and bring you the most interesting articles in every issue! 

Today we joined by Dr. Sarah Spriet, DO, an allergist/immunologist at the Alexander T. Augusta Military Medical Center in Fort Belvoir, VA and an assistant editor of Allergy Watch. We will be reviewing the November-December 2023 issue Allergy Watch, a bimonthly publication which provides research summaries to College members from the major journals in allergy and immunology.
