Signals+ at 6 Months: We Invite Your Feedback
Dear ICIS Members, Cytokine & Interferon Researchers & Industry Partners, It’s hard to believe that six months have flown by since we introduced the new, semi-monthly Signals+ in partnership with Multiview. Time truly does fly when you’re staying informed and engaged in the dynamic world of cytokine and interferon research. Since October 2023, the new Signals+ went from a twice a year newsletter to twice a month and has been dedicated to providing you with a curated selection of timely and relevant news, updates, and insights directly to your inbox. From spreading the word about ICIS members research, to Society News and Member Highlights, from Cytokine Careers to fun and lighthearted pieces in “From Howard’s Desk,” we’ve strived to offer a comprehensive glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of our community and to facilitate member communication to ultimately translate discoveries to improve human health. As we reflect on the journey so far, we’re keenly aware that Signals+ is as much yours as it is ours. Your feedback, insights, and suggestions are invaluable in shaping the direction and content of this newsletter. We want to take this opportunity to invite you to share your thoughts with us. Start Survey What elements of Signals+ have resonated with you the most? Is it the in-depth coverage of Society News, keeping you abreast of the latest developments within ICIS and our partnerships? Perhaps you’ve found inspiration in the stories of fellow members showcased in Member News, or you’ve appreciated the career opportunities listed in Cytokine Careers. Whatever it may be, we want to hear from you. Equally important, what would you like to see more of? Are there specific topics, features, or sections you believe would enhance your reading experience? Your input will guide us as we continue to refine and evolve the content to better serve your needs and interests. Furthermore, we encourage you to contribute to Signals+ yourself. Do you wish to spread the word about the research you’re undertaking, publicize a recent article to increase downloads, citations and impact. Have an insightful perspective on recent developments in the field? A delightful anecdote or piece of humor to brighten our days? Signals+ exposure will help you to grow your network both within your field and across disciplines. Your contributions enrich our community and foster a sense of connection and collaboration. To streamline the feedback process, we’ve prepared a brief survey where you can share your thoughts anonymously – or leave your name if you’d like to contribute. Your responses will help us tailor Signals+ to meet your expectations and preferences effectively. Start Survey As we continue this updated format for Signals+, we remain committed to delivering an interactive newsletter that informs, inspires, and entertains. Thank you for being an essential part of our community, and we look forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Stephanie Flores Co-Managing Director International Cytokine & Interferon Society
