Important new knowledge appears in virtually every corner of our field, and it has a direct impact on our understanding of hematologic processes, on our future research agenda, and on the diagnostic and therapeutic management of our patients with hematologic diseases. Channeling and integrating the continuous flow of new information is a daily task for scientists and clinicians as well as students and trainees. How do we digest this information? How do we extract the essentials from the bulk of emerging new data? How do we keep an overview so that we can use the information effectively in our professional lives as hematolo- gists? One of the primary objectives of Blood is to support our readers in this ambitious challenge. Blood publishes reviews in several distinct formats, all written by distinguished experts in the field. It offers Reviews, Perspectives, EvidenceBased Focused Reviews, and Spotlight Reviews, each with their own unique focus. Perspectives discusses topics and controversies relevant to hematology, generally from a personal or opinion-based standpoint. Spotlight Reviews focus on very recent emerging scientific and clinical developments in a circumscribed area and are presented in a concise format that distills a recent burst of advances in a particular area. In 2013, Blood launched a new category of Review Series. Each Series includes a collection of Reviews that highlight topics of significant interest in our field related to a particular broad area of research in active development. Thus, a Review Series presents a comprehensive total perspective on a selected topic of interest. The Editors of Blood trust that the Review Series fills a significant need among our readers in their objective to stay up-to-date with the evolving changes in their field. In one issue of Blood, the readers can find updated expert coverage of the fast-evolving field of hematology. »» BLOOD Page B-5 Reception to Honor 2015 ASH-AMFDP Award Recipients and 2013 MMMSAP Participants Celebrating Ten Years of MMSAP T onight at 6:30 p.m., ASH invites all interested meeting attendees to the Promoting Minorities in Hematology Presentations and Reception, which will showcase training and research opportunities geared toward increasing the diversity of scholars in the field of hematology.
