View Article  Targeted Nitric Oxide delivery to be discussed
The agenda for EuroSciCon's ‘From Menace to Marvel: Nitric Oxide in Health and Disease’ meeting on March 20th 2009 has been finalised. Professor Ian Megson (UHi Millenium Institute, Inverness, UK), who will be speaking at this event has a few words: ‘Since its discovery in the 1980s, nitric oxide (NO) has been heralded as a major breakthrough in disease prevention and management. However, the promise and expectations have not yet been delivered with respect to new NO donor drugs on the market and we are still heavily reliant on drugs that have been in use for decades. One possible reason for the lack of development in this area is the lack of specificity of many NO donor drugs and their global impact, as opposed to local activity.’ His talk will explore some possible solutions to tackle targeted NO delivery for use in a number of cardiovascular conditions.   more »

Welcome to Mums in Science

This site has been designed as a portal for busy mums who work or have worked in science.

Too many women leave science due to the constraints of motherhood. Some struggle, and work part time, at the expense of advancing their career. Others change their career to fit in with their children, whilst working within some area of science.

Our aims are :-

  • to create a community to provide mutual support,
  • to provide information to those who have the challenge of bringing up children and maintaining a career in science, whether full or part time, or outside mainstream science.

This site is updated regularly with new articles and occasional special offers. Everything is accessible on the site. However, if you would like to receive notices of new additions to the site you can subscribe to the site and receive e-mails as soon as a new article is posted to your selected categories or to all the site.

We welcome comments about MumsinScience, what you like, what you don't like, or how we can improve.

PLEASE LET US KNOW, just email comments@mumsinscience.net
