When the Iowa Physiological Society (IPS) meets on November 1 and 2, the chapter of the American Physiological Society promises a pair of days packed with sessions on a variety of topics including asthma, seizures, cardiovascular issues in infants, cannabis as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, and how the #MeToo movement impacts STEM fields.
But the sessions will begin with a special award presentation. Mark Chapleau, PhD, will receive the 2019 IPS Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of a career devoted to science and to the professional society. Chapleau is Professor of Internal Medicine in Cardiovascular Medicine and of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics. He has gained national and international recognition for his work on the neural control of hypertension, the highest risk factor in cardiovascular disease.
