This recognized scientist is honored by receiving the Hugh Davson Distinguished Lectureship Award at the annual Experimental Biology meeting. Hugh Davson (1909–1996) was a renowned British physiologist who worked on the properties of biological membranes.In 2010, the Section presented the Davson award to Dr. Sergio Grinstein from the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. After the lecture was presented, the Section and the Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology invited Dr. Grinstein to write an article related to his Davson award lecture. We are very pleased that Dr. Grinstein accepted this invitation, thereby initiating the publication of the Davson award lectures in AJP-Cell Physiology. We hope that readers will enjoy Dr. Grinstein's article, which appears in this issue and is entitled “Imaging signal transduction during phagocytosis: phospholipids, surface charge and electrostatic interactions”. We are also pleased to initiate this tradition and hope that it will strengthen the relationship between the Cell and Molecular Physiology Section and AJP-Cell Physiology.DISCLOSURESNo conflicts of interest, financial or otherwise, are declared by the author(s).AUTHOR NOTESAddress for reprint requests and other correspondence: P.
