This term in my lab we are trialling a chalk-talk journal club format with emphasis on concepts and implications: no Powerpoint, no presentation of data.
The word 'leverage' in biomedical literature (as search by Pubmed trends). I wonder what is behind it. Every other abstract I read now seems to be leveraging.
Great news in the fight against antimicrobial resistance! Two oral antibiotics have been approved by the FDA for uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea. As Neisseria gonorrhoeae is becoming resistant to all known antibiotics, such breakthroughs were urgently needed. (1/4) www.fda.gov/news-events/...
