- About APS
The American Physiological Society (APS) Annual Membership Meeting was held virtually on April 30, 2021. We reflected on the past year, forecasted what's next and highlighted the contributions and accomplishments of our members. Presentations were followed by a live Q&A session with APS leaders and the passing of the gavel between APS presidents.
