Welcome to your June update from the World Muscle Society

We have a very full newsletter for you this month. We have been able to include reports from two of the international congresses that we have supported through our project proposals process. It's a real privilege to be able to support projects around the world. 

Next up, we're appealing for new members for two of our committees, our Social Media Committee and our Sustainability Committee. The time commitments for each are fairly light, but we need more input from WMS members. You can find the link to sign up in the stories below.

And if you missed the FSHD Awareness Day coverage on our website and social media, I encourage you to catch up with the engaging profiles of WMS members working to improve care and treatment for patients with this currently incurable disease. 




 

In WMS Congress news, it's great to see that our meeting in Prague will have a truly global audience. We have awarded fellowships to people from 33 countries, accepted abstracts from people from 46 countries and welcomed registrations from people in 54 countries. Take a look at the infographics at the end of this email to see where in the world everyone is from.

The global reach of the Congress is a real testament to the quality of the work we showcase and how highly people in our field value attendance. If you haven't registered yet, it's not too late. You have missed out on early bird prices, but have until 11th September to register. 

As always, we rely on members, to share news about what you're working on so we can tell others. Please do contact us.
