Els pitjors presagis respecte al destí de la biblioteca de l’institut d’història de la medicina i de la ciència “López Piñero” han estat confirmats ahir. Com sabeu, la biblioteca de l’IHMC és una de les més completes dedicades a la història de la ciència, de la medicina i de la tecnologia.

Es va crear una comissi...
