Global Theme Issue on Poverty and Human Development

More than 234 journals throughout the world will simultaneously publish articles devoted to the topic of poverty and human development tomorrow, on October 22nd, 2007. You can get more information, including the links to all the participating journals at The Council of Science Editors.

Out of those hundreds of papers, seven were specially chosen (by a panel of NIH and CSE experts) and will be presented, by their authors, at an event in Masur Auditorium, NIH Clinical Center (Bldg. 10) at 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. today. It is free for public, so if you are in the area, you should go and see this.

There will be a live webcast of the event (later posted as a permanent video file on the site).

Please spread the word on your blogs as well.
