New Outlet to Share Cancer Research
The Cancer Center communications team is pleased to share a new segment on the website titled, “Research Snapshots,”— featured under Research News, which is located under the Research tab on the Cancer Center Homepage. This new module is designed to highlight recent discoveries by our very own!
Research Snapshots pairs newly published studies with a brief description of how the study has impacted the field of study and/or a Q&A with the lead author. Research Snapshots aim to make research discoveries more accessible for other scientists and the community as a whole.
If you are a Cancer Center researcher and would like to have your research considered for this feature, please contact assistant director of communications Marilee Griffin or communications specialist Leacy Burton.
