“As a member I have always felt hugely supported by The Society from receiving travel grants, being given the opportunity to present my research at meetings and publishing my first ever paper. As an Early Career Theme Lead, I am enthusiastic about developing and promoting the support and activities that The Society can offer to early career researchers working in the Endocrinology Theme.”
