The EAST meeting is upon us in just a few weeks! I’ll be attending (and tweeting) during this annual event. But in the meantime, I’d like to provide some commentary on some of the best and worst abstracts that will be presented.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll summarize one interesting paper/poster per day. I’ll also provide some perspective as to why it looks important (or not). Remember, my impressions are based on just an abstract. There is a lot that is left unsaid in the preparation of these brief research summaries. Sometimes, those things are crucial and totally destroy the work promised in the abstract.

I’ll also be listening to the presentations of the papers I critique at the meeting so I can get the real story, and I’ll share those with you as well next month.
