For this year’s SLAS2024 conference in Boston (which takes place 3-7 February), DDW’s Megan Thomas narrates articles from the DDW SLAS2024 supplement as part of the DDW Events podcast series. This is episode one, called, “A welcome to SLAS 2024”, which includes two comment pieces. Thomas wrote the first one, “The journey from lab to patient”, which focuses on the theme of the track curated by DDW taking place in the Ignite Theater at SLAS 2024. The second is from SLAS Director of Marketing & Communications, Jill Hronek, called “Innovation at every turn: Hello SLAS2024”, in which Hronek shares her enthusiasm for the opportunities, products, technologies and stories that this event brings together.
