SRS Board of Directors
Statement in response to George Floyd’s tragic and unnecessary death
We are shocked at the manner of Mr. Floyd’s death. We condemn this brutal event and send our condolences to his family. We also recognize the distress this tragedy has had on many within our radiopharmaceutical sciences community, particularly those of Black, Asian and minority ethnic background. A just and fair society is a fundamental human right; not a privilege. However, due to continuing injustice, many perceive this right as a distant objective.
In fulfilling our mission to advance excellence in radiopharmaceutical science education and research, we are fundamentally committed to directing the SRS so that its membership and its activities reflect the great diversity of ethnic groups within it and of which we are truly proud. Only through this commitment can we effectively represent the profession and realize our overarching goal of advancing our science in order to have a major impact on society.
