Science and Health Research
In this space we continue to divulge online resources, which may be individual pages, blogs and institutional websites, among others. We will focus on those that are simple and intuitive to use and preferably free of charge. A substantial part of these online resources will be devoted to medical sciences.
In this edition we give you a few more suggestions that you may wish to add to your favourites.
