PRESIDENT'S UPDATE
 |
John C. Morris, M.D.
ATA President |
A few days ago you should have received a statement from ATA leadership about the recent executive orders from the new administration limiting international travel for persons from several predominantly Muslim countries. As is outlined in the statement our society enjoys a highly diverse membership and also hosts non-members to our meetings from all corners of the earth. The ATA board of directors and leadership feel that this diversity and the free exchange of scientific and clinical information is critical to our mission of being "the leading organization devoted to thyroid biology and to the prevention and treatment of thyroid disease through excellence in research, clinical care, education, and public health". Our values include "worldwide collaboration and collegiality". These items which we hold so critical to our existence are threatened by the immigration actions that will limit the ability of our members and attendees from other parts of the world to participate in our meetings, share their scientific advances, and carry back the latest progress regarding thyroid disease to their home countries and peoples. If you have not read the statement previously, I hope you will do so now and support the free exchange of science for which it calls.
