Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Cardiovascular diseases and stroke afflict people of all races, ethnicities, genders, religions, ages, sexual orientations, national origins and disabilities. The American Heart Association is committed to ensuring that our workforce and volunteers reflect the world’s diverse population. We know that such diversity will enrich us with the talent, energy, perspective and inspiration we need to achieve our mission: building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

(professional.heart.org/membership) Letter From the Chairs Dear Colleague, On behalf of the American Heart Association and the Scientific Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences, welcome to the Basic Cardiovascular Sciences 2018 Scientific Sessions: Innovating in Cardiovascular Research. The conference is considered by many to be the premier basic and translational cardiovascular research meeting in the world and attracts our field’s best and brightest from across the globe. Our primary goal is to provide a forum for timely discussion of the latest findings from leaders in the field of cardiovascular sciences. As a result, we hope the conference will foster new ideas and collaborations to accelerate translation. We’re pleased to announce some new programming this year, including the Early Career Pre-conference Session on Monday morning, concurrent sessions throughout the meeting to expand your educational experience, workshops and early career sessions. Attendees will hear state-of-the-art presentations on a broad array of topics, including cardiac fibrosis – changing the landscape, the on and

Following a Capability Driven Framework (CDF) approach, nosingle desSnaSon has been considered, but a roadmap of possible desSnaSons that lead towards anulSmate goal of a human mission to Mars was developed. The DesSnaSon OperaSons Team (DOT) was created within the HAT in October 2012. The DOT’s charter is to develop desSnaSon-­‐specific “Point of Departure” Concepts of OperaSons (ConOps) for HATDesign Reference Missions (DRMs) using a systemaSc analysis approach. These ConOps then inform more detailed products that are delivered to the HAT Core Team.

Es erstaunt allerdings, dass die Gründe, warum Menschen fliehen oder migrieren, diese Debatten viel zu wenig beschäftigen. Wer die Geschichten in diesem Heft daraufhin liest, wird feststellen, dass keine auskommt, ohne sich in den Kontext der Welt zu stellen. In diesem Heft kommen deshalb Menschen zu Wort, die in der hiesigen Debatte um Flucht und Migration oft nicht wahrgenommen werden. Der deutsch-bolivianische Theaterregisseur Hjalmar Joffe geriet in Afghanistan in eine Situation, die fataler kaum sein kann. Gemeinsam mit unseren Kollegen von AHRDO probte er ein Stück über einen Selbst- EDITORIAL 3 mordattentäter, als sich in unmittelbarer Nähe tatsächlich ein Selbst- mordattentat ereignete.
