CRfocus 20(06) - June 2009

In previous years, we have endeavoured to publish reports on all conference sessions in this issue. However, due to constraints on page space and available reporters, we have decided to publish a balanced selection of reports in print, with others (and extended versions of printed reports) becoming available here during June.

Reports with an (O) in the menu bar are only available online. Reports with an (E) are presented online in extended form.
