The Society awards several medals annually, in recognition of outstanding contributions to endocrinology. All members are invited to make nominations for the 2012 awards. A citation for each of the medals and a nomination form can be obtained at www.endocrinology.org/about/medals.html. The medals will be presented at SfE BES conference 2012 in Harrogate, UK, where the medal winners will give a plenary lecture. The deadline for returned forms is 30 July 2010.
