Please join me in congratulating Dr Christopher Lear on becoming an Editorial Board Fellow with the Journal of Physiology.
It is a competitive fellowship with more than 100 applications submitted worldwide each year. Selections are made based on excellence in research and contributions to the research environment, demonstrating a commitment to research.
New Zealand has not previously had a successful candidate for the Fellowship, and I am happy to announce that Chris is one of two fellows to be selected from New Zealand this year.
