12 April 2019 (Friday) - Oncologist Update



The nice people at “The Oncologist” sent their update today. Sometimes they give a web link; sometimes they don’t. Today they didn’t, which is a pain as it makes providing evidence of what I’ve done that bit trickier.

Today’s missive contained all sorts of stuff including:

Michael J. Birrer, Ilaria Betella, Lainie P. Martin, Kathleen N. Moore
