美国临床化学协会

美国临床化学协会（AmericanAssociationforClinicalChemistry）邀请霍姆斯在周一晚向3000名科学家发表90分钟的演讲，尽管一些负责组织会议的科学家提出抗议，他们主张，Theranos爆出的一系列丑闻应当使该公司失去资格。

The American Association for Clinical Chemistry invited Ms Holmes to deliver a 90-minute talk in front of 3000 scientists on Monday night despite protests from some scientists responsible for organising the conference , who argued that a series of damaging scandals at Theranos should disqualify the company .

组委会成员安迪•胡夫纳格尔博士（DrAndyHoofnagle）表示，他和他的几个同事“真的尽了很大努力阻止”霍姆斯来，但他们的意见被美国临床化学协会主席帕特里夏•琼斯（PatriciaJones）否决了。

Dr Andy Hoofnagle , a member of the organising committee , said he and several of his colleagues had " fought really hard to prevent " Ms Holmes from appearing but were overruled by Patricia Jones , the AACC president .

琼斯辩护了美国临床化学协会邀请霍姆斯发言的决定，称协会领导层有权决定谁应该上台发言。

Ms Jones defended the AACC 's decision to invite Theranos to speak and said that the leadership of the association had the right to determine who should appear .
