A Bibliography of Background Readings for the November 13, 2024, WTCHP Research Meeting

For this meeting we asked presenters to recommend articles that help attendees gain further insight or context to their presentations. For convenience we have included the links to those articles below. Please note that this web page contains links to papers on the publishers’ pages. The abstracts will be available, however, it is important to be aware that certain full text articles may be inaccessible due to a paywall.
