The Boston Ithaca Islet Club thanks its sponsors for the upcoming meeting:

The Islet Club thanks Drs. Marc Prentki and Vincent Poitout for hosting the meeting in Montreal on November 19-20.

Finally, we thank Ms. Alix Zutter and Ms. Sylvie Roy for logistical support in preparing another extremely successful meeting.

Throughout our organization, we're asking tough questions and discovering better answers.
