ABSTRACT was developed because we feel that it is important for developing scientists to stay informed of not only progress in our respective fields but also important issues in the societal, legislative, and economic environment in which we approach our scientific pursuits. Our goal in establishing this student and postdoctoral publication is three-fold: to inform readers about a variety of important developments in the realms of science, business and government, to maintain trainees' intellectual connections with all biomedical departments, in keeping with the interdisciplinary goals of biomedical education at Vanderbilt, and finally, to provide Vanderbilt students and postdoctoral fellows with an opportunity to gain experience in science writing. We hope that you will look to ABSTRACT for coverage of current progress at Vanderbilt and in the broader scientific community and that the information provided here will spark discussion and debate among colleagues. It is our sincere hope that ABSTRACT will become a staple of the student and postdoctoral experience at Vanderbilt.
