Congratulations to Erik Herzog (Program Chair), Deb Bell-Pedersen (Fundraising Chair), Karen Gamble (Trainee Day and Junior Faculty Workshops Chair), and our outgoing president Carl Johnson and his Executive Board for making the meeting such a great success! This year we also welcomed Bill In This Issue – Schwartz as the new Editor of the Journal of Biological Rhythms.

HVD: As an undergraduate I went to a seminar of Johanna Meijer, my current PhD supervisor. I was not familiar with chronobiology at that time, but I was immediately interested. Johanna gave me the opportunity to do research in her lab as an undergraduate and I continued as a graduate student. I still enjoy it a lot, both in- and outside the lab. A few weeks ago I gave a talk in a local library to try to enthuse the general public as well.
