Message from the President(Posted July 22, 2020)
The Executive Committee of SGS made the difficult decision to make our annual meeting fully virtual on May 18th. That left the Program Committee just under 8 weeks to create a virtual meeting. Luckily we had an incredibly dedicated and facile group of people who were up to the task. This group was headed up by the scientific program chair, Dr. Patrick Culligan, who briefly relocated to Boston to work together with the technical crew to run the meeting. While wearing masks and socially distancing, Dr. Culligan and our out-going president, Dr. Peter Rosenblatt kicked off the meeting on the evening of July 9th. In addition to the fantastic science that we have all come to expect from SGS, the program also included engaging keynote speakers, two unique panel discussions, a number of timely product theaters, and four excellent postgraduate courses on Sunday. The program was recorded and thank goodness; the presidential address given by Dr. Rosenblatt was one for the history books. Watch out Ken Burns, you’ve got some competition. Information on options for viewing these recorded sessions will be coming shortly. The content of the material presented at the meeting was carefully selected by the abstract reviewers chaired by Dr. Peter Jeppson and the video reviewers chaired by Dr. Michael Moen. The Scientific Program Co-Chair, Dr. Megan Schimpf, made sure the program stayed on time. Finally, as with most things related to SGS, Nancy Frankel and Lennie Siegel brought everything together and amazingly managed to rescue SGS from a potentially large financial loss. Our society owes you all a great debt of gratitude. Miles Murphy, MD Tuesday March, 9, 2021 at 2:00pm EST
