Members may be interested to learn of the new educational resource called LIFE, standing for Leading Fungal Infection International. The website is a straightforward structured summary of the most important fungal diseases, fungi, diagnostics and therapies. Hopefully this will be of great use to those in training and on undergraduate or postgraduate courses. Some data on the burden of fungal disease globally is also posted and this may be useful for grant applications and your talks.
