!About the conference

In spite of major recent discoveries in Physiology and Pathophysiology, it is a serious problem that the biomedical sciences are currently ‘drowning’ in masses of data that do not generate new ideas or models ([https://doi.org/10.1093/function/zqac048]). We often miss the ‘big picture’. This conference will therefore be broad, taking us all the way from the main support systems of the body to its principal functions, namely, sensing, moving, talking and thinking. The speakers will provide broad perspectives, enabling meaningful discussions of major advances.
\\ \\
The symposium is co-sponsored by the [APS|https://www.physiology.org/?SSO=Y] and the [Leopoldina|https://www.leopoldina.org/en/leopoldina-home], and is co-organised by the APS journal [Function|https://academic.oup.com/function], AE’s [Cardiff University Hub|https://aecardiffknowledgehub.wales] and the Leopoldina.
