Hello Friends 👋
This week we have a special episode of journal club lined up for you. We have the pleasure of welcoming to the show the great folks from EBNEO (https://twitter.com/EBNEO) to discuss the eight articles competing in this year's article of the year campaign. We had the chance to review each paper and vote for the one we each liked. We encourage you to do the same by following EBNEO on twitter or checking our twitter feed where we will make sure to re-post some of the content published by the EBNEO team. Enjoy!
