The Meso Foundation has released a new version of its web page about the Meet the Mesothelioma Experts live broadcast series, which makes the recordings of this educational series user-friendly and easier to access.
Each recording is now listed with a photo of the speaker, the title of the session, and a brief description of the topic of discussion. Users can select the recording they want to listen to, which will lead them to a user-friendly audio player accompanied by a more in-depth description of the session and speaker.
