The amount of information presented on the media about breast cancer during the month of October is frequently overwhelming and often confusing. We should not be more aware of breast cancer during October, simply because the incidence of breast cancer is the same all year around. However, October serves as a yearly wake-up call to the importance of being proactive in the detection and treatment of breast cancer. It has also become a calendar event for organising fund-raising activities for breast cancer treatment and research. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z What about the weeds? Azzopardi, Marika Attard, Everaldo /library/oar/handle/123456789/26977 2019-09-27T08:23:57Z 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: What about the weeds? Authors: Azzopardi, Marika; Attard, Everaldo Abstract: Professor Everaldo Attard is perhaps one of the most eclectic persons Marika Azzopardi has met so far. His many hats are somewhat interlinked to certain facets of his life both professional and not, and yet all are somewhat distinct in character. So much so, this rich interview risked the requirement of a sequel. I meet him at the University of Malta, in his office from where he is not only an Associate Professor in Agricultural Chemistry & Pharmacognosy, but also co-ordinates the Division of Rural Sciences and Food Systems under the umbrella of the Institute of Earth Systems. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
