From the President: ECS United

It gives me great pleasure to write to you for the first time since becoming ECS President. I assumed the role following the 245th ECS Meeting in San Francisco, CA, which I certainly hope you attended. That amazing event featured 49 symposia with 439 sessions presenting more than 2,290 talks, 3,022 abstracts, and 701 posters by authors from 68 countries. Of these, 575 were invited talks, 25 ECS award and keynote talks, and 1,240 student abstracts, 842 oral talks, and 388 posters! If you were unable to attend, complete coverage of the meeting’s highlights and key moments is forthcoming in the next edition of Interface. I would like to share with you my vision as President of this esteemed Society, and what I see are the main challenges and opportunities facing ECS in the year ahead.
