AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR HEART RESEARCH

The ISHR strives to promote the advancement of cardiovascular biology and medicine through the publication of the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology as well as in the Society newsletter Heart News and Views and by organizing regular national and international conferences. The society is composed of seven Sections, each of which holds an annual meeting, details of which are published in the Journal. Every three years also all Sections meet for the World Congress (the next will be in Winnipeg on July 6-11, 2001). Applications for membership may be made through any Section but the Section covering your geographical region is recommended. Membership is open to any individual (with or without MD or PhD) who is actively interested in any aspect of experimental or clinical research in the cardiovascular system. Advantages of membership include:

• Reduced registration fee at Section Meetings and World Congresses (this alone more than pays for the annual membership fee).
• Reciprocal membership privileges with other ISHR sections.
• Reduced personal subscription rates to the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology. (This also, in itself, more than pays for the membership fees).
• Free subscription to the ISHR bulletin, Heart News and Views.
• Eligibility for the Peter Harris Award, the Research Achievement Award, the Richard Bing Young Investigator Award, and Travel Awards at World Congresses.
• Eligibility for the newly-established Fellowship of the ISHR (a distinction bestowed to a select number of outstanding scientists, with the limit now set at 50 for 2001).
• Being listed in the worldwide ISHR membership directory.
