Thank you to everyone that joined us from across the world – close to 600 people connected with our conference platform to come together to celebrate first-class physiology!
Our Annual Conference, Physiology 2021, was attended by a vibrant community of scientists from 45 countries. Across five days, Physiology 2021 featured 95 ePosters, 83 Oral Communications, 72 Symposia speakers and 7 Prize Lectures.
Following the conference, Dariel Burdass, Chief Executive, said:
“The Physiological Society’s Annual Conference always brings together an exceptional scientific and professional development program and this year was no exception. During the five days, hundreds of physiologists from across the world came together in a true celebration of our discipline. We couldn’t do this without the enthusiasm of all our members and the wider physiology community, and I would like to thank them for bringing such energy combined with high quality science to the week. It was also great to see the innovative networking features of the platform being used so well, with so many members forging new connections with their peers. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Conference Committee and the staff at The Society for all their hard work.“
Dr Sue Deuchars, Chair of our Conferences Committee, summed up the conference perfectly in her closing remarks, when she said:
“It has given everyone at all levels a chance to present and to share their fantastic research, from undergraduates right up to professors and, despite the pandemic, there has been some fabulous research happening across the physiology community. We’ve had posters on all subjects and the presenters have provided some great video presentations.”
Professor David Paterson, President of The Physiological Society, closed the conference by saying:
“Whilst it would be great to be able to meet in person, technological platforms also have their opportunities – we have had people join from 45 different countries, which has given us a really international perspective. Having said that, we hope that we will see you all next year, particularly in Copenhagen at Europhysiology 2022!”
