Optimizing beer’s shelf life using benchtop EPR

The main challenges in optimizing beer shelf life is that most manufacturers can only perform accelerated shelf life testing on packaged beer. So, it's almost impossible to determine where in the process you've had a positive or a negative impact on the freshness of the beer.

Researchers ferreting out patients most likely to become resistant to cancer treatment

According to the National Cancer Institute, the number of people beating a cancer diagnosis reached nearly 14.5 million in 2014 and is expected to rise to almost 19 million by 2024. Now, that's good news, but it doesn't mean that cancer researchers - in the lab or clinic - are resting on any laurels.
