Message from Dr. Scott Heximer, Interim Chair It was really wonderful to see so many people at the Macallum Lecture and FIP.  Our sincere thanks again to Dr. Richard Palmiter for visiting us and delivering two superb lectures. His visit was the highlight of our academic year!

I was delighted by the fantastic turnout at the CPS symposium that was held at Hart house on Tuesday. The purpose of the meeting was to recognize the outstanding contributions that two Canadian physiologists have made through the award of the Sarrazin and Stevenson lectures, to promote interdisciplinary, cross-platform physiological research and, to give trainees the opportunity to present talks and discuss their work at a poster session.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Graham Collingridge’s “send-off” party on April 30th. It was a great event! Our best wishes again to Graham as he begins his new role as Director of the Tanz Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases (CRND).  

We are excited to announce that Dr. Richard D. Palmiter from the University of Washington and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute will be our Macallum and FIP Speaker 2019!
