Assure your interviewer that you are engaged when it comes to new information and changes in your field. The best way to do this is by discussing the societies you belong to, the journals/publications you read, and the network of professionals you are close with in your field.

I am focused on all published articles on infectious diseases and novel treatment strategies, mostly clinical development. I review on a weekly basis all published articles regarding new treatments in infectious diseases (ResearchGate), updates within the Pharma industry (Pharma Forum), regulatory guidelines regarding safety assessments, etc.
