UW School of Medicine Research Opportunity

As is often the case I come across information to pass onto the community.  As with all things, make sure that you feel comfortable with each project that you agree to participate in.  It is a good thing that we have the opportunity to each have a voice and to be able to choose when to use it.  I am also happy to field any information about your experiences to pass onto others.   Ms T.
