February research updates
I’ve updated the research section of the Lyme Disease in Canada site with the latest batch of papers involving Canadian scientists. There seem to be fewer new papers this month than usual, but then maybe that’s just because it’s winter and everyone is hibernating.
In addition to the new papers, I have, as always, stumbled across a stash of historical papers, which I’ve also added to the site. I’m looking forward to the day when I no longer trip over these historical papers. Surely I must be close to getting them all indexed by now.
