The first days will doubtless have its issues, especially since the lecture rooms are a bit smaller than in Naples, and we now have, for the first time since VSS’s inception, over 2,000 attendees! If you feel that we can improve the conference, even if it is only a small detail, let us know The con- ference is our conference, and together we make it a wonderful experience I also invite you all to come to our award sessions This year’s recipients are Molly Potter (Davida Teller Award) and Duje Tadin (Elsevier/VSS Young Investigator Award) Moreover, our keynote speaker, Srini Sri- nivasan, will blow your mind and I can promise you that it will fuel many discussions Don’t miss it! So, I hope that our meeting will be a lively one and full of interaction; not only for the young, but also for the young at heart This year one of our oldest members, but one with an exceptional young heart, passed away Ian Howard was the best example of a leading scientist who knew how to make sure that scientists interact Those who have been at his parties know what I mean I feel sad that he will not be here in person, but happy that he will be present in our heart and discussions Enjoy!
