News - 5th European Lipidomics Meeting

摘要

This joint meeting was hosted in the city of Foz do Igua.u, Brazil, a place noted for its natural beauty and home to the Igua.u Falls. The Society sponsored a symposium on 'Energy Metabolism' on 24 August 2015 with David Carling, Fraser Macmillan, Judy Hirst and Richard Cogdell as speakers. The symposium was a huge success with over 200 delegates attending with standing room only. Richard Cogdell, one of the speakers, commented that "the trip to Foz do Igua.u as part of the Biochemical Society's delegation to the 23rd Congress of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the 44th Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB/SBBq) was really excellent. I was surprised and encouraged to find such a large and youthful audience. The young Brazilian scientists were particularly enthusiastic and it was very rewarding to interact with them.".
