One of the prerogatives of the outgoing Southern Society for Clinical Investigation
President is to choose the topic and speakers for the Presidential Symposium at the
annual meeting. The choice of topic for the 2013 Symposium, “Iron Metabolism: Bedside
to Bench and Back,” has its genesis in a rejection letter I received some 15 years
ago.
