FROM THE EDITOR
"Spotlight Chats"
All we can think about now is the Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, and I could not be immune to that! Naturally, I invited Prof Laura Ensign (Johns Hopkins University) to sit down with me for this edition of “Spotlight Chats” and tell me all about the plans for the event of the year!

Laura is a brilliant and distinguished member of our Society, who took on the role of chairing the 2023 Annual Meeting Programme Committee, and had a lot to tell me about it. We also talked about her career so far, how she got involved with the CRS and those who meant the most to her in this time, as role models in science. It was an inspiring conversation and hopefully it will leave you all excited about the meeting in Las Vegas! If you haven’t yet registered, what are you waiting for?

Thanks again Laura for accepting my invitation and for being under the spotlight this time!

A Whirlwind, Worldwide Tour of Recent CRS International Symposia
The past four months have seen four CRS international symposia across the Asia-Pacific region: in New Zealand, November 21-22; in Australia, November 24-25; in Korea, December 1-2; and in India, February 24-25.

These events represent the culmination of years of planning around a global pandemic and a strong resurgence of interest in travel and in-person collaboration within our community. Leaders of each event described the symposia as “successful,” “long-awaited,” and “outstanding,” marking a strong lead-up before this summer’s Annual Meeting.
PATENT WATCH
Select patents in controlled release or delivery issued from October 2022 through February 2023.
CRS Labs Around the World
In this issue, we are glad to share two stunning pieces showcasing our CRS Labs Around the World! Don’t miss the opportunity to know more about the research groups led by Dr. Hagar Labouta (University of Manitoba, Canada) and Dr. Tushar Kumeria (University of New South Wales, Australia). Two impressive young academics in our community who are thriving with their research on crossing biological barriers and using porous materials for drug delivery.
