Lab 2023: Highlights of the year

Today we are tearing out the last page of the calendar and with it we say goodbye to the old year 2023 (which brought us the war between Hamas and Israel, and also a million good news, such as the publication of Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of Medical Terms) and we welcome the new year 2024.
