Steve the AICR Librarian regularly combs the net for news relevant to our mission.
We love getting these updates, because they help us keep on top of the latest developments. They also provide fodder for discussion both internally (ie, around the watercooler) and externally (ie, in AICR publications like Cancer Research Update and eNews.)
We figured we shouldn’t keep Steve’s hard work to ourselves, so here’s his latest roundup. Hope you find it as useful as we do.
