We’re new to Bluesky, but not to #endocrinology. Since 1946, we’ve been dedicated to advancing endocrine science and health.

We’re here to connect with researchers, clinicians, nurses and anyone interested in the vital role of #hormones in our lives.

The deadline to apply for our PhD studentships is fast approaching!

If you’d like to study a PhD at the LMS make sure to get your applications in by the 6th of December!

If our world class science isn't convincing enough, then hear what our students have to say
