Vote Now for ICIS Leadership Positions and Best Cytokine of 2024

July 15, 2024

British playwright Tom Stoppard got it right when he said, “It’s not the voting that’s democracy; it’s the counting.” Some of you may recall a few questions about the final results of last year’s “Cytokine Bracket.” The 2024 edition of the King of Pathogens Memorial Cytokine Bracket has resolved those issues. Scan the QR code to vote.

And while you’re at it, if you are an ICIS member take a moment to vote in the ICIS leadership elections. Also on the ballot is a proposal to amend the number and responsibilities of some Standing Committees listed in the Bylaws.

Ballots were emailed to all members on July 1 with a reminder on July 10th, directly from ElectionBuddy.com. If you didn’t receive yours, please contact the ICIS office. [READ MORE]
