I’ll be giving a talk on careers in scientific publishing at this year’s Young Physiologists’ Symposium (Sunday July 13, 2008, Cambridge, UK).

The Young Physiologists’ Symposium is a fabulous meeting that is well worth attending. 10 years ago I helped to organise a YPS meeting at the University of Bristol, where I was a PhD student at the time. The internet was still in its infancy in the late 1990s and I don’t think we even had a website to promote the conference, but somehow we managed to get together young physiologists from all over the UK who had an interest in cardiovascular physiology. I’m really pleased to be attending again, this time as a speaker rather than as an organiser. Perhaps I’ll see you there?
