Note:  This is not a comprehensive list.  In selecting highlights I rely on EurekAlert! and Google News.  I do search for the terms "Burroughs Wellcome" (and Burroughs-Wellcome).  If I'm missing something, please feel free to send me an email at news@bwfund.org.  I prefer to have links to official university news releases.
