The lads jetted off to sunny Marseille in the South of France to get you updates on the latest bone research. We talked to Federico Moscogiuri, Ralph Muller and Aline Bozec from the IFMRS about supporting global musculoskeletal research. We also chatted with Annegreet Vlug and Petar Milovanovic from the ECTS academy about their research and supporting young scientists. The IFMRS Online Learning Environment (HubLE) provides high-quality, accessible knowledge about MSK research, with an emphasis on innovation, enabling early investigators to learn, share and network with each other and with professionals from across the world.
