“Science and medical knowledge are always a snapshot. It can never capture the full truth. It's an ongoing process, and this applies, also, to scientific societies, like the AMN. It has to advance in order to stay a living entity. [...] It's a living society and I'm excited to be a part of this. And, in the end, this is also reflected by the change in the dynamic way the Academy outreaches the people, which, last but not least, is also expressed in the rebranding of the AMN. “ - Professor Johannes Vester, AMN President
