Summary:American Society for Clinical Investigation members, it is surreal that today we should be gathering for the Joint Meeting in Chicago and instead we are in the midst of a pandemic with global long-term consequences. While this situation has prevented us from being together, the themes embedded in the planning for the 2020 Joint Meeting are no less relevant today, as we face an unprecedented threat from this pandemic virus. Collectively, we face a palpable threat to all of humanity in which medical science is the vehicle that will sustain our ultimate survival and recovery. The theme for our conference this year, Disruption in Medical Science, is emblematic of the kind of work that lies ahead for us. The experience of COVID-19 has taught us in my institution that we can move and enact changes more rapidly than previously imagined.
