Message from the President

Hello ABRFer’s It is that time of the year when the excitement and anticipation of the annual ABRF meeting is upon us. As a reminder, this year’s meeting is in sunny and warm Palm Springs on March 27-30. As I reside in Iowa, I am looking forward to being in a warm place where the white ground I see is sand and not ice and snow. Many thanks to this year’s Program Committee, let by Allis Chien, for putting together an outstanding program that features the latest ground breaking research, instrumentation and core operations. In addition to the meeting content, there are opportunities to network with our peers and corporate partners. As a reminder, the ABRF 2022 meeting is a hybrid meeting with the ability to participate on-site or virtually.  I look forward to seeing everyone again whether it is virtually or in Palm Springs! Kevin Knudtson ABRF President
