🚨CALL FOR PAPERS🚨 Take a look at this #CallforPapers for our "Mechanotransduction, muscle spindles and proprioception" #SpecialIssue, which will cover the many and diverse aspects of proprioception and muscle spindle function in health and disease! 🔗buff.ly/3LSGgM3

Does #immersion of a limb in cold water influence corticospinal #excitability and the level of afferent inhibition exerted on motor cortical circuits? Delahunty, Leanne Bisset and Justin Kavanagh (Griffith University) investigate in this #ShortCommunication! 📜buff.ly/498RRBr

Delighted to be at UCL today to unveil our Blue Plaque for Ernest Starling. In 1902, Starling worked with William Bayliss on the discovery of secretin and coined the term ‘hormone’. Our Blue Plaques honour outstanding physiologists who have advanced the discipline.

1/2 Alastair, a musician from Vancouver, was diagnosed with a Grade 2 astrocytoma in 2018. Facing the anxiety of regular scans, he turned to his love of music and transformed the sounds of the MRI machine into Brain Tuners, a project full of resilience and hope.

"In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them." - John von Neumann

When Schrödinger came up with the idea that a particle could exist in a superposition of states, he never thought we would be able to directly observe this quantum strangeness. Yet this is exactly what Serge Haroche did, when he succeeded in observing a single photon in a trap.

It's our #AnniversaryDay today! Anniversary Day celebrates the granting of our first Royal Charter in 1662. You can explore a digital version of our Charter Book in our Turning the Pages collection - see which Fellows' signatures you can spot! #RSFellows ttp.royalsociety.org//ttp/ttp.html?…

Happy Birthday ! to English cosmologist, theoretical physicist, and mathematician John D. Barrow. "Where there is life there is a pattern, and where there is a pattern there is mathematics."

The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics. – Galileo Galilei

Now at our 2024 Member Forum, our Society Editors-in-Chief discuss the importance and benefits of Society publishing. Hosted by Past President, David Paterson. Learn more about our family of journals: physoc.org/journals

Delighted to be back this year to chair The Physiological Society Member Forum. So many Society achievements to celebrate since last year, and lots of exciting plans for the future.

Proteins generally consist of 20 different amino acids, which can be described as life’s building blocks. In 2003, David Baker succeeded in using these blocks to design a new protein that was unlike any other. In 2020, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper presented an AI model called
