Why Birmingham 2013? (by Denis Noble). It is a huge privilege for physiologists in the UK to have the opportunity to welcome our international colleagues from all the 50 or so member societies of IUPS, and from countries that are not yet members, to come to the Congress in 2013. more

To The Physiological Society of Japan. Coming so soon after the disastrous New Zealand earthquake that ravaged the city of our 2001 Congress, IUPS Council is deeply distressed to learn of the even larger earthquake that has so seriously damaged our most recent host nation, Japan. The fact that the host city, Kyoto, was not in the firing line is only small comfort. Many must have been lost in Sendai and elsewhere in the North East of Japan. We all treasure memories of the superb Kyoto meeting, and we send our deep condolences to our physiological colleagues in Japan mourning the ravages of the largest Japanese earthquake for 1200 years. IUPS Council

From IUPS Council to NZ Physiological Society. IUPS Council recalls with great pleasure the huge success of the 2001 Congress in Christchurch. The devastation and loss of life in the earthquake is shocking anyway, as these events are anywhere in the world. To that shock there is the added poignancy of our own beautiful memories of 2001. We send deep feelings to our NZ colleagues in this time of great sadness. Denis Noble, IUPS President on behalf of all the IUPS Council members
