Part of the discussion during the AAO 2023 symposium on "Green Ophthalmology: Our Sustainability Mandate" centered around how to get young ophthalmologists (YO) involved in sustainability initiatives. Here, Dr. Jenna Tauber, one of the YO panelists, talks about how she got started with ophthalmology sustainability as a medical student at New York Unversity working with Dr. Cassandra Thiel and provides words of advice for other YOs wanting to follow her lead.
