Sept 2012: New information on the site: a slideshow on using Exercise & Nutrition as ways to lower your risk/recurrence of Cancer as well as a one page handout on the same topic.
Marie's studies were featured at NUI Galway's 16th Annual Health Promotion Conference -- you can read the summary of the poster session on page 32 of the conference booklet.
