Here we have two video interviews with members of F1000. Faculty Member Ary Hoffmann recently visited us in London, while our Outreach Director, Iain Hrynaszkiewicz, met with International Advisory Board member Iain Mattaj in Heidelberg.

The Canada Gairdner International Award is an annual prize that recognises significant contributions by biomedical scientists to understanding, treating and curing human disease. Recipients are nominated and then selected by two panels of leading Canadian and international scientists, and many previous recipients have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. Congratulations to Stephen Elledge, Faculty…
