BiOS Hot Topics draws a crowd
Two current SPIE journal editors, one previous editor, and other leaders of the BiOS community were on hand for the Hot Topics Session. From left, Journal of Biomedical Optics editor Lihong Wang (Washington University in St. Louis); Neurophotonics editor David Boas (Massachusetts General Hospital); SPIE President Philip Stahl (NASA); BiOS Symposium cochairs Rox Anderson (Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital) and Jim Fujimoto (Massachusetts Institute of Technology); Eric Swanson (OCT News); and past Journal of Biomedical Optics editor and Translational Reserach Symposium chair Bruce Tromberg (Beckman Laser Institute and Clinic, University of California, Irvine). Wang, Boas, Swanson, and Tromberg each were Hot Topics speakers.
Wear the tie! SPIE President Philip Stahl invited Hot Topics participants to pick up the newest SPIE tie, themed with a biophotonics motif, at the Photonics West Marketplace outside North Hall. The Marketplace offers a wide selection of books as well as the SPIE line of ties and gifts, including a brand new International Year of Light t-shirt.
