YE tales from ICE/ENDO 2014

By Sunday afternoon it was time to sneak off early and explore Chicago. 

The third day of ENDO 2014 proved to be another great day! Combining a mixture of clinical Endocrinology and basic science, I started my day with a MTP session on Turner's syndrome which as always provided evidence-based, relevant, practical advice. Then it was time for a stimulating 90 minutes on GPCR signalling with particularly good talks from Jean-Pierre Vilardaga and Terry Hebert.

After grabbing a quick coffee (no such thing as quick if you could see the queue at Starbucks), I went to listen to one of the post-docs from Raj Thakker's lab (Caroline Gorvin, Oxford) present her work on the prolactin receptor. Her abstract won a prize.

At lunch, I bumped into the cheery Sam Mirczuk again who by now had presented her poster.

Two back-to-back MTP sessions on Graves' ophthalmopathy and prolactinomas kept me busy until a fascinating symposium on advances in hypopituitarism. I'll end today's blog with a picture of the vista taken whilst making the crazy dash to the shuttle.
