The VOS Conference Starts in Just 199 Days!
 
Dear VOS members,

Mark your calendars! The 2020 VOS Conference at Sun Valley starts in just 199 days! We have a great program shaping up, and you don't want to miss a minute of it.
 
On Saturday, February 1, we will have a lovely Welcome Reception where you can mingle with colleagues, eat great food, enjoy a cocktail or two, pick up your registration materials, and get ready for the start of the conference. Sunday, February 2 is a special day: It is Day 1 of our conference and it is Super Bowl Sunday! To accommodate both of these great events, we have scheduled our opening scientific session to begin earlier than usual, at 1 p.m. running to 3 p.m. Our Jacques Jenny Lecture will take place 3-4 p.m., followed by our Exhibitors' Showcase Super Bowl Party.

Before you get all excited about the huge projection screens and delicious foods that we will allow us to enjoy a true Super Bowl experience from kick-off through half time, let's talk about the Jacques Jenny Lecturer for 2020. Dr. Leesa Galatz, chair of the department of orthopedics at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, will talk to us about the current science and cutting edge techniques she applies for patients with shoulder and/or elbow issues. Dr. Galatz's primary research interest throughout her career has been basic science of rotator cuff disease and tendon healing as it pertains to cuff repair. She is a co-primary investigator on two major projects funded by the National Institutes of Health which focus on rotator cuff degeneration and repair, and tissue engineering strategies for tendon repair.  
 
Monday and Tuesday will run as usual with great lectures, wet labs, excellent winter sports right outside our doors, and our Jacques Jenny lecture each evening. Wednesday will feature more science, the annual ski race and on-mountain picnicJacques Jenny lecture, as well as our always well-received Foundation Night. This is your chance to enjoy great food and drinks while spending time with our poster presenters, bidding on silent auction items, and then settling in for the entertainment for the night ... and this will be some great entertainment! How about a TED talk, by former astronaut Cady Coleman? A chemist with a doctorate in polymer science and engineering, Cady is a pioneer in the research of materials science, biotechnology, combustion science, and fluid physics. Onstage, she draws from her time in NASA and her missions on the International Space Station to discuss team-building, leadership, and innovation. With her extraordinary photos and videos, Cady delivers a captivating account of life in space and the importance of diversity, inclusion, and collaboration. 
 
Thursday will find us enjoying more science, more labs, more winter sports..and the all-important business meeting followed by our BIGGEST event of the week: The Awards Banquet which will also be known as Maralyn Probst's Official Retirement Party. What?!?! ... This is a must-attend event! Ever been a resident who needed a bit of help getting your abstract submitted on time? Ever discovered that you forgot to register for the conference? Ever needed a hand finding your way around the conference? Ever been on the board of directors and, frankly, depended upon Maralyn to do the real heavy lifting? Well, this is your chance to say "Thank you!" and "Congratulations, Maralyn!"
 
Janet Van DykeFriday will have a full day of science, skiing, and camaraderie. It's not too early to start scheduling your time off to attend the best VOS Conference of all time!

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve as your president this year!
