We are excited to return to Amelia Island, the site of SRBR for so many years early after its founding . SRBR was established 30 years ago, assembled by a group of visionaries whose commitment to research, education, and scientific exchange laid the foundation for SRBR to become a leading voice in propelling the biological rhythms field into the forefront of life science and medicine . To further this remarkable progress, SRBR 2018 promises to be an exceptional forum for hearing the latest cutting-edge research, reengaging with colleagues from years past, and exchanging ideas that will shape the future of the field with a talented and diverse group of chronobiologists from around the globe . Between scientific sessions be sure to take advantage of the hiking trails, golf courses, swimming pools, tennis courts, gym equipment and other amenities at Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, as well as nearby beaches and beautiful Amelia Island . All the scientific discourse, personal interactions and leisure activities that we will soon experience would not be possible without many people working behind the scenes who helped organize this meeting . I wish to sincerely thank the SRBR 2018 Program Chair, Horacio de la Iglesia, and the Program Committee for assembling a wide-ranging and exciting scientific program for us to enjoy, our Professional Development Committee Chair, Ilia Karatsoreos, the Professional Development Committee, and the Junior Faculty Workshop Chair, Jennifer Evans, for kicking off the meeting with terrific educational and career development events, Laura Laughlin and the Parthenon Management Group team for their meticulous planning to keep this meeting running smoothly, and our Fundraising Chair, Nico Cermakian, who raised a record level of support from many generous government, corporate and individual sponsors . In addition to planning SRBR 2018, your SRBR Board of Directors made quiet progress on multiple fronts including initiating a Public Relations Committee that is striving to improve the broad visibility of SRBR as the expert on circadian rhythms, increasing our advocacy for circadian biology and sleep to governmental and private funding institutes, and continuing with efforts to honor excellence of our members with Directors’ Awards and other travel awards including those specifically targeted to enhance diversity at our meeting . I am forever grateful for the time and hard work that all SRBR committees devoted to strengthening our Society and advancing the biological rhythms field . Finally, I want to thank all of you for being here and sharing your insights, energy and passion for biological rhythms – which is really what makes this meeting such a success . These are exciting times in the biological rhythms field, and I hope you will take full advantage of the opportunities that await you at SRBR 2018 . Best wishes for a great meeting!
