Physiology Friday, now in its second year, is the UK’s premier physiology-themed day! The Society is calling on UK Members to mark the occasion by hosting their own events to showcase physiology and highlight the importance of the discipline.

While some events will be organised through The Society’s office (watch our website for more information in the near future), many will be held independently by Members. Whether this is a seminar for your colleagues and students, an event for the public, or a visit to a school, we aim to have events covering the length and breadth of the country.

Through Society Outreach Grants and our Departmental Seminar Scheme, we aim to provide funding for those events that need it, though there are many activities that can be run on a shoe-string. There is more information on The Society’s website at www.physoc.org/physiology-friday-2013.
The day makes up part of Biology Week, which highlights biological science of all forms to a broad audience. This year there will be a chance for you to get involved in a range of different hands-(and binoculars and microscopes)-on activities between 12 and 18 October.

Lewis Dean, Society Outreach Officer, said: “Physiology Friday promises to be a really exciting chance for physiologists to showcase their work and connect with a range of audiences. It’s great to be putting the discipline on the map and allowing audiences to find out why physiology is so important to the biological sciences.”
