How do you address certain lipid topics that pose instructional problems? These problems may be due to a lack of information, ambiguous information, or an abundance of information that needs to be focused on relevant issues. Academics and industry professionals will benefit from a clear presentation of these problem areas by speakers who have a record of teaching excellence and established research experience with each topic of interest.
