Since Last We Spoke, 9/23/13

A Happy Monday to you all (or Tuesday for my subscribers who get this one day late)–I am finally back from Japan after a longer-than-anticipated trial and am thrilled to be home for the next 5 days. Hopefully some of you will be joining my colleague Jen Sommers and me on Wednesday for our webinar (a very clinically-focused session). And  speaking of that webinar: a special congratulations to a member of our IHS project team–Sarah had her baby on Saturday–Noah James. If you’ve seen the photos on Facebook than you can back me on this–she grew herself a good looking baby boy.

I put in some long days in Japan, but had plenty of time to read while jet lagged out of my skull this morning, so here’s what I’ve been checking out since last we spoke:
