Congratulations to Ruth Witherall, winner of the Endocrine Connections World Hurl competition and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1! - here’s what Ruth had to say about her membership to the Society for Endocrinology and why a new Open Access journal is important to her:

"I am a member of the Society as a junior doctor which has been really useful as it has enabled me to come to two of the SfE BES conferences now and the opportunity to present posters has been fantastic. This has definitely encouraged me to seriously consider a career in endocrinology in the future - I've been more encouraged to present and publish in this than in any other specialty. Any development which helps junior doctors get published is an enormous help - especially when competitive specialty job applications are looming." Well done Ruth!
