How important is evidence-based medicine and health technology assessment committees in making these decisions? As we move towards the 2012 Healthcare Accord discussions, we will have our opportunity, as members of a major medical school, to engage with our local politicians and policy-makers to encourage them to Individual Highlights: understand what we do in the world of academic surgical-science, and how they can help us reach our goals.

PUBLISHER’s NOTE The Tree young oneS, very old ones, evergreen, and deciduous—we see them all around us. And sometimes we think of them as part of the forest they become when many are together. But now, thanks to the wonderfully eloquent book The Hidden Life of Trees by forester and storyteller Peter Wohlleben, we know the forest to be a community, a stunning gathering of connected individuals communicating with and supporting each other. Greystone is honored to be publishing The Hidden Life of Trees this fall, and we salute all the forestry researchers around the world whose work enables us to see trees differently than we ever have before.
