Congratulations to Jason Buick, Andy Brooks, Steven Brooks, Steve Lin, Valeria Rac and Laurie Morrison on winning a CIHR Café Scientifique Grant. Café scientifiques started in the late-20th century as informal discussions about scientific subjects. They provide insight into health-related issues of popular interest to the general public, and in turn provoke questions and provide answers. This grant will support a café called, “Cardiac Arrest: Saving a life is as easy as 1, 2, 3...”, which will be held in 2012.
