President's Update
August 2019
Greetings! Summer is clearly drawing to a close -- the days are getting shorter, schools are about to start, and the ATA Program Committee is reviewing short call abstracts. We are getting close to the annual meeting (October 30-November 3 at the Sheraton Grand in Chicago). If you have not registered, it is not yet too late. As you make your travel arrangements, note that this year it should really be worthwhile to stay all the way through Sunday morning, which will feature the perennial favorite tumor board (moderated by Mimi Hu) as well as a joint European Thyroid Association, British Thyroid Association, and ATA symposium, Evidence Based Use of T3 + T4 Combinations taking place simultaneously in Chicago and London, and co-chaired by Jacqueline Jonklaas and Colin Dayan.
The annual meeting program, co-chaired by Antonio Di Cristofano and Mona Sabra, will also showcase plenary lectures from Dr. Gil Mor, speaking about Pregnancy – A Unique Immunological and Microbial Condition, and Dr Terry Fry, speaking about CART Cell Therapy in Blood Malignancies. The Clark T. Sawin Historical Vignette this year is titled Women in Thyroidology: The Power of Scientific Kangaroo Leaps – Paradigm Shifting Scientific Contributions. It will be moderated by Rebecca Bahn and will focus on the work of two truly remarkable women thyroidologists, Deborah Doniach and Gabriela Morreale de Escobar. Medical, surgical, and ethical considerations for the care of patients with anaplastic cancer – a preview of the upcoming revised anaplastic cancer guideline – will be highlighted at the Arthur Bauman Clinical Symposium.
