From the Editor

摘要

I am glad to share this third quarter issue of Biomaterials Forum with you! This issue features a brief history of biomaterials research activities at Case Western Reserve University, one of the pioneering institutions in our field. The article, from James Anderson, contains details about the role of case researchers in biomaterials innovation over recent decades. Another feature is the third installment by Otto C. Wilson, Jr. in his "ABC's of Biomaterials Education series"; this article considers "Through the Looking BioGlass of Idioms and Analogies." Like the previous articles in this series, this article provides insight into Dr. Wilson's views of biomaterials in a broader context. This issue also includes a letter from our president, Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez, regarding the upcoming 2023 Annual Meeting and other upcoming meetings that the society is supporting. Shena Seppanen provides details on the activities of the society's board, council, and committees in the staff updates section. Stephanie K. Seidlits, the Society's Member-at-Large, reviews recent achievements by James Anderson, Nicholas Peppas, Guillermo Ameer and other leaders of our field.
