Want to write for the sBMJ?

Dearest globals!

I am attaching here a note from the editor of the student edition of the BMJ. Some of you may be interested in writing/publishing an article.

regards,
raoul

Dear all,
I recognise that many of you will be on holidays at the moment, and I hopesummer is treating you well. The September's issue of sBMJ goes to presstoday, and once it comes out on the web and on print, I welcome all yourcomments, suggestions and criticisms. Please feel free to send them to meat bravichandran@bmj.com.We are planning to have a cluster of articles, if not a theme issue, forDecember's issue of sBMJ --- AIDS at 25. We generally don't doanniversaries at the BMJ. And nor is it one, for the real anniversarypassed in July.. But, being the global pandemic that HIV/AIDS is, we wantstudents, and indeed, doctors, who read our journal to be informed aboutwhat is happening around the world with regard to the epidemiology,prevention and management of the disease, and how it affects the fabric ofhuman society.So, this is my first invitation for submissions and ideas for articlessurrounding HIV/AIDS for the December's issue. Please do not send articlesto me directly - rather, pitch them to me first, and once I give thego-ahead, you can submit the articles on submit.bmj.com. If you know of anypotential authors who might be interested in writing for us - students orexperts - please feel free to forward this mail. I will issue my firstgeneral call for articles in my next editor's choice.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Balaji.
