The American Physiological Society’s (APS) inaugural meeting, the American Physiology Summit, was a resounding success last year! With more than 3,100 attendees, 1,800 submitted abstracts, scores of scientific sessions and esteemed lecturers, the physiology community is gearing up for even more in 2024. For members, meeting attendees, industry partners and staff, the excitement of the Summit boils down to one main goal: celebrating science.
Scientists from all branches of physiology come together at the event to share their stellar science on a wide range of topics. In 2023, much of the research presented at the meeting highlighted ways that physiology protects our health, from preventing kidney damage through the way we eat to keeping our circadian rhythms steady to maintain a healthy brain.
Sessions on climate change and the concept of “exercise as medicine”—both timely topics in our 21st century world—were also well-represented at last year’s Summit. If you want to learn more about the top-tier physiology presented at our inaugural meeting, check out the 2023 Summit Newsroom.
The second annual American Physiology Summit begins next week, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Long Beach, California. Bookmark the 2024 Summit Newsroom to keep tabs on this year’s bumper crop of research findings as it unfolds.
