Last minute study section cancellation has been deeply disruptive and troubling to those submitting and those reviewing alike but it looks like those cancelled meetings can start being scheduled again. npr.org/sections/shots-healt…

It can be challenging to publish data for very novel and innovative strategies. @ECP_editor invites papers on technologies, behavioral/pharmaceutical targets, interventions and deployments, and ethical/practical considerations. buff.ly/3B5KlLk
