he Materials Research Society engages members across generations to advance their careers and promote materials research and innovation.
I am privileged to have served the past year as President of MRS—a Society I find to be energetic and that delivers opportunities to be intellectually recharged. This sense of selfless, enthusiastic engagement is shared and appreciated by our members. I especially enjoy and appreciate the passion and excitement among our youngest members, as they present their talks and posters. They are catalysts for innovative engagement opportunities—PowerPoint™ Karaoke is one great example—that MRS provides and fosters. In the era of the digital echo, it is very easy to become distracted. The challenge to all of us is to enjoy the good experiences our career choices afford.

THANK YOU! 2019 MRS OFFICERS
HIGHLIGHTS MRS is committed to engaging our members and serving the needs of our community—from students to seasoned professionals. To those ends, we recently introduced “hot topic” areas—artificial intelligence (AI), quantum materials, emerging biomaterials, sustainability, and responsive and adaptive materials—to forge new materials communities and guide content development at the frontiers of materials research. Over the past year, these hot topic areas have proved highly popular, with strong webinar attendance, heavily downloaded journal articles, packed symposium sessions, and more. In fact, in a relatively short time, they have permeated all Society activities.

To further awareness of these new topics and their value to our members and materials community, MRS held its inaugural Frontiers Reception during the 2019 MRS Spring Meeting. We brought together those interested in any of the hot-topic areas—whether expert or new to the field—in a casual, fun, interactive way. During the energetic brainstorming session we cultivated relationships and shared ideas for building new materials communities. The inaugural Reception was so well received we repeated it at the 2019 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston, where it drew over 400 attendees!
