This month, Small Cap Nation's Jane King sat down with Crystal Research Associates' CEO Jeffrey Kraws to discuss the current state and future outlook of our research company. The interview, available below, also included a discussion of important trends facing the corporate research and communications industry as well as factors impacting some of the industries we serve (e.g., healthcare).

Tomorrow kicks off one of the year’s largest oncology conferences: the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, held this year over June 3-7 at McCormick Place in Chicago. With over 30,000 attendees and hundreds of presenting companies, the conference will undoubtedly include important clinical data announcements from the likes of Pfizer, Genentech, and others as well as give some smaller firms the opportunity to introduce novel oncology candidates. Amid the presentations and exhibitions, one topic in particular is expected to stand out: the costs of cancer care.
