- ERS ECM Awardee 2021, a preview of LSC 2022 and a brief overview of the Respiratory ChannelPublication . Costa, João C.; Mitchelmore, Philip; Ubags, Niki D.; Calarasu, Cristina; Keir, Holly R.; Cruz, JoanaIn this article, we present an interview conducted with the winner of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Early Career Member Award 2021, Alberto García-Basteiro, where he discussed his work and visions for the future. We also provide an overview of the ERS Lung Science Conference 2022, which will take place in Estoril (Portugal), with a brief description of the early career member (ECM) session. Finally, we discuss the most recent digital resource from ERS available to the respiratory community, the ERS Respiratory Channel.
- Highlights of the ERS Lung Science Conference 2022Publication . Hanstock, Helen G.; Kapellos, Theodore S.; Keir, Holly R.; Khedoe, P. Padmini S.J.; Long, Merete B.; Evren, Elza; Ubags, Niki D.; Cruz, JoanaThis article presents the highlights of the ERS Lung Science Conference 2022, including a session organised by the Early Career Member Committee (ECMC) dedicated to career development https://bit.ly/3tarCXc Every year, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) organises the Lung Science Conference (LSC), in Estoril, to discuss basic and translational science. The topic of the 20th LSC was “Mucosal immunology of the lung: balancing protective immunity and chronic inflammation”. This was the first time that the LSC was organised as a hybrid congress with both in person and online attendance. In addition to an outstanding scientific programme, the LSC provides excellent opportunities for career development and inclusion of early career members (ECMs). All scientific and poster sessions are chaired by an ECM who is paired with a senior faculty to allow ECMs to become acquainted with session chairing, and there is a session organised by the Early Career Member Committee (ECMC) dedicated to career development. Moreover, travel bursaries are made available to abstract authors, and all bursary recipients and first-time attendees are invited to take part in a mentorship lunch. In this article, we provide the names of the ECM awardees and describe the scientific highlights of the LSC 2022 for those who could not attend.
- Highlights of the ERS Lung Science Conference and Sleep and Breathing Conference 2021 and the new ECMC membersPublication . Goodwin, Amanda T.; Karadoğan, Dilek; De Santis, Martina M.; Alsafadi, Hani N.; Hawthorne, Ian; Bradicich, Matteo; Siciliano, Matteo; Şahin Duyar, Sezgi; Targa, Adriano; Meszaros, Martina; Fanaridis, Michail; Gille, Thomas; Keir, Holly R.; Moor, Catharina C.; Lichtblau, Mona; Ubags, Niki D.; Cruz, JoanaThis article provides a brief description of some of the most remarkable sessions of the @EuroRespSoc Lung Science Conference and the Sleep and Breathing Conference 2021 and presents the new incoming members of the ECMC (@EarlyCareerERS). The Lung Science Conference (LSC) and the Sleep and Breathing Conference (SBC) are two conferences organised by the European Respiratory Society (ERS), the latter held in association with the European Sleep Research Society. This year, the LSC and SBC were both held in a virtual format with the participation of researchers and clinicians from around the world. The participation of Early Career Members (ECMs) was notable in both events: 216 of 363 (60%) delegates attending the LSC were under 40 years old, and 315 of 920 (34%) delegates were ≤40 years of age at the SBC. Both conferences included outstanding talks on the most recent advances in respiratory medicine and science, oral/poster communication sessions on novel research, exciting opportunities to network with peers, and much more! This paper provides a brief overview of some of the most remarkable sessions of the LSC and SBC, written by ECMs attending the sessions.
