    *We have also received a request to discuss/demo the new proximity searching operator on PubMed. If you have tested or used this feature and are willing to do a 5-7 minute demo on how it works (as part of the journal club event mentioned above), please reach out to me (zahrapremji@uvic.ca) to express your interest.
