On July 19 the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) launched a new science outreach product, "La mare de la ciència", a podcast in Catalan where you can "listen to science" done at the Park. During the second half of July the six episodes that make up the first season will be released. Today, July 28th, the podcast of Toni Celià-Terrassa, group leader of the Cancer Stem Cells and Metastasis Dynamics group at the IMIM, will be launched and will help us to decipher metastasis. This is a narrative podcast in short format, where Marta Vila, from the PRBB's communication department, leads us through the research and stories of six researchers from the Park's centres. A very personal and close look to the science that is done in the PRBB and the people behind it.

On June 15th and 16th, the STOPSTORM consortium coordinated by the UMC Utrecht with the IMIM and Hospital del Mar's participation, met virtually to discuss early project progress. The project, which officially started on May 1st, will begin researching the use of radiotherapy in treating cardiac arrhythmias. Patients who suffer from ventricular tachycardia (fibrillation of the ventricles) are often treated with medication and/or implantation of an ICD, a defibrillator that corrects a rapid heart rate with an electric shock. In cases of persistent arrhythmias that do not respond adequately to regular therapy, patients may undergo invasive catheter ablation. The aim of the consortium, consisting of 31 partners across 8 European countries, is to investigate the option of radiotherapy-ablation for the 30%-50% of patients whose symptoms persist after catheter ablation. The treatment, which is also used in lung oncology, consists of a high dose of radiation administered in a single session.
