Launch of the NL Thrombosis, Blood and Immune Disorder Research & Education Project

From The Hemoglobin Mail blog,

The Hemoglobin Mail blog is now open for business

This is just a small shout out to a new blog just created called The Hemoglobin Mail. It will from time to time post news about blood and immune system disorders like leukemia. While there won't be a daily posting, there will be news on interesting, useful, and/or promising research. As a blogger who was stung by the bite of this cancer, you may also see posts on stem cell transplants, and post transplant side effects known as graft versus host disease.

Today is just a launch, and in the days to come, we will christen site with details of a another launch on Nov. 9, of the Thrombosis, Blood and Immune Disorder research project, to be held at the Geo Centre at 7:30 p.m. More details to follow.
