A fond farewell to Edith Gruslin and a warm welcome to Mirjam Eckert

As March comes to an end, we reluctantly say goodbye to Edith Gruslin, the Monitoring Editor for the Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS). Edith has been key to the success of the journal, and under her tenure, the journal has grown both in readership and publication rate. On behalf of the JIAS editorial team, we thank Edith for her leadership, dedication and hard work during her time with the JIAS. She will be greatly missed. We wish her all the best and continued success in her future endeavors.

At this time, we would like to give a warm welcome to Dr. Mirjam Eckert who has joined the editorial team of the JIAS as the new Monitoring Editor as Edith’s replacement. Mirjam has an excellent academic background and has published a number of scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals. With training in science communication, Mirjam has experience and interest in the wider applicability and communication of science.

4th INTEREST Workshop, 25–28 May 2010, Maputo, Mozambique

The 4th INTEREST Workshop – the International Workshop on HIV Treatment, Pathogenesis and Prevention Research in Resource-Limited Settings – will take place on 25–28 May 2010 in Maputo, Mozambique.

In this interactive workshop, which aims to “promote coordination and collaboration, and transfer experiences across fields and continents”, scientists from low- and middle-income countries as well as developing countries will have the opportunity to share their research findings on HIV prevention, pathogenesis and treatment.

Presentations from renowned speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including the state-of-the-art in microbicides, paediatric HIV infection, and HIV-incidence determination. With a focus on issues that are especially relevant to Africa, the workshop gives young scientists from low- and middle-income countries the chance to present their research. In addition to abstract-driven and poster presentations, the workshop also includes time for discussion and interaction between the speakers and participants.

Register before 16 April 2010 to benefit from the regular fee!
