I had a truly wonderful time last week participating as an
invited speaker tot the 12th Annual Retreat of the International
Graduate Program in Molecular Biology and Medicine of the Lung. This
program is sponsored by the Universities of Giessen and Marburg, http://www.uni-giessen.de/cms/fbz/fb11/forschung/graduierte/mbml/faculty and is directed by Dr. Rory Morty, our very capable
Associate Editor. The scientific program and social activities were
absolutely fantastic. The invited speakers included two Nobel laureates
(Professors Robert Huber and Harald Zur Hausen), Sir Magdi Yacoub, His Eminence
Cardinal Willem Jacobus Eijk, Archbishop of Utrecht, The Netherlands and many
others. The student presentations were splendid. Dr. Morty invites
two graduate students every year to participate in the retreat. According
to inside information, publishing in AJP-Lung, and other journals of course, is
looked upon favorably!! If you are a graduate student in biomedical
science, next time you are in a scientific meeting, look up Dr. Morty
(Associate Editor for AJP-Lung), introduce yourself and let him know what you
are doing.
