Knowledge is the fuel that powers the world. Access to timely and accurate information allows us to make informed decisions about our patients, our research, our careers, and our relationships with colleagues. I’m grateful the Endocrine Society provides many different communications channels to generate useful and practical knowledge on every aspect of endocrine science and care. I’d like to highlight some of them. Endocrine News The Society’s longstanding magazine has been a pilar of our field, not only for sharing the latest research and best clinical practices, but for highlighting the achievements of our members and featuring our organization’s many products and services. The publication is marking a milestone this summer as it fully transitions to online-only. As the Executive Editor Mark A. Newman notes, the greatest strength of the magazine “is its access to amazing Endocrine Society members.” EndoForum This unique communications and networking platform is designed exclusively for our members. In EndoForum, you can find the latest information and alerts on upcoming Society meetings and events, as well as connect with members from around the world.

In EndoForum, you can find the latest information and alerts on upcoming Society meetings and events, as well as connect with members from around the world. This networking is achieved through several online discussion channels, including the “Discussions” section, where members regularly pose clinical questions to their peers, and the “Groups” section, where our 12 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) gather. By joining a SIG, you can communicate with colleagues who share your same interests and passions. Endocrine eNews Delivered to your inbox each week, Endocrine eNews provides a quick-read, executive summary of the Society’s many activities, including awards, webinars, meetings, advocacy, podcasts, and featured research. The newsletter also provides timely reminders about such things as membership renewal deadlines, and store offerings. Endocrine Briefing Our unique e-newsletter uses artificial intelligence (AI) to bring you the latest endocrine research and practice headlines in a way that’s personalized for your specific interests. As you click on stories that interest you, the platform uses that data to select related content for future issues tailored specifically for you. Endocrine Signals Our Society blog takes a monthly deep dive into the inner workings of the organization. Here you will find stories from Society team members who head up advocacy, education, meetings, publications, clinical practice guidelines, membership, awards, and more. Society Website Certainly not to be overlooked is the Society’s website itself. I invite you to visit this site often , where you’ll find the full breadth and depth of our organization’s activities and programs. The homepage and Latest sections offer a quick view of the latest happenings. Our Society Calendar provides a view of Society events, as well as events throughout our field. The Our Community tab provides a pathway to member-oriented content, including more on the SIGs and career development programs. The Advancing Research tab allows scientists to quickly pursue our offerings, including fellowship programs, research grant opportunities, and scientific statements. The Improving Practice tab leads to sections on our Clinical Practice Guidelines, education, and training. And our Advocacy tab features a wealth of information on campaigns, letters, testimony, and position statements. This is just the tip of the iceberg. But not every communications channel involves words on paper or screen. The Society in recent years has taken major steps to boost its presence in podcasting and video. Endocrine Feedback Loop Podcast This monthly journal club podcast is a must-listen for members who want to hear an in-depth discussion on recently published research. Each episode features an expert educator and a topical specialist dissecting recently published journal articles and discussing implications for clinical practice. Recent episodes included topics on infrequent zoledronate in low fracture risk, taste changes with semaglutide, and dosing strategies for remission in Graves’ disease. Endocrine News Podcast Our membership podcast casts a similarly wide net, focusing on the latest research and clinical advances from experts in the field. Recent episodes include discussions on the SABRE Project and its significant impact on osteoporosis clinical trials and addressing the endocrine workforce shortage. Endocrine Society’s YouTube Channel This is another excellent communications vehicle for members who prefer to consume visual media. On the YouTube channel, you can hear — and see — our members discuss a wide range of topics, including previews of upcoming meetings and summaries of published research. Social Media The Society curates a lively conversation about endocrine topics on major social media platforms. Here you can get the latest information about the organization’s programs, initiatives, and members, and weigh in with your own thoughts. Our platforms are: X (formerly Twitter) Facebook Instagram LinkedIn BlueSky Through these channels and more, the Society aims to keep you armed with the latest knowledge that will help you achieve your professional and personal goals. What you’re reading now, in fact, is a perfect example of the Society’s aim to keep you well informed. I look forward to sharing more knowledge in this letter over the coming 12 months.
