Around 1000 delegates attended The Society’s annual Main Meeting in Edinburgh, 2–5 July. As well as 21 symposia, 109 oral communications and 365 posters, exploring many compelling areas of physiological research, delegates were also treated to plenary lectures from some of the most notable figures in the field.

The Public Lecture was delivered this year by Gareth Leng, Professor of Experimental Physiology at the University of Edinburgh. For the first time, we broadcast our annual public lecture to an online audience of over 700.

Peter Ratcliffe, who delivered the Annual Review Prize Lecture, said: “I had a great time in Edinburgh and was impressed with the science presented there, in particular a range of new approaches combining molecular and integrative physiology. I really enjoyed delivering the Annual Review Prize Lecture.”

GSK Prize Lecturer, Holly Shiels, said: “The whole meeting was a great experience and Edinburgh was lovely. I particularly enjoyed meeting colleagues in the crossed theme symposium on alternative animal models and catching up with old friends at the conference dinner. I’ll definitely be attending IUPS next year in Birmingham!”
