If you have ever had a severe headache, you may have noticed how pain takes a toll on your emotional state, especially if you have ever experienced a migraine. Taking pain medication can help with how a headache feels physically, but what effects does pain relief have on people emotionally? Believe it or not, a number of studies have been conducted on how pain medication like ibuprofen can ameliorate emotional pain.

Austin Life Science Research Front Line Event to Debut at UT in November

Posted by BCI Staff on Thu, Sep 01, 2011

life science researchWe're very pleased to announce the newest addition to the Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. Front Line Event Calendar: on November 2 of this year (2011) we will hold our 1st Annual BioResearch Product Faire show on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin (UTA).  Front Line events have been extremely popular since we introduced them in 2010 as an alternative to our larger expositions, typically for a special request venue or a more targeted audience.  In the case of UT Austin we're venturing onto a campus without a medical school (yet), though that hasn't prevented the University from being a huge recipient of federal research grants.
