Dear IPCRG colleague,
It's been a busy month for many as you've prepared abstracts for our World Conference, celebrated the Year of the Horse, or started Ramadan. So, take a few minutes to catch up on what's been happening in Greece, India and China and maybe look back through old photos for our new photo competition celebrating IPCRG's 25th anniversary?
