🎉👏 Celebrating Calder Scholarship—In Honor of Healthy Aging Awareness Month!
As we recognize the importance of healthy aging this month, we’re proud to highlight Thilani Samarakoon, Biomedical Data Librarian, on this impactful publication:

Effects of socioeconomic factors on visual outcome and management of patients with wet age-related macular degeneration
