"Irrespective of whether you are new to the field or an 'old hand' these Henry Stewart Talks series by key opinion leaders are an incredibly valuable resource. No need to travel to some far-flung location to hear state-of-the-art talks, these briefings enable a student and teacher, group leader and new recruit to benefit from a series of exceptional talks, either in logical progression or focusing on particular topics of interest. In a rapidly moving field, you need both the fundamentals and the latest advances - these expertly meet the need. Highly recommended!"
