Your many colleagues, members of the meeting program committee, have been working hard in putting together a fantastic, high caliber scientific program. The annual meeting of the Radiation Research Society is the single, most important event of our multidisciplinary society. The beautiful and relaxing venue encourages both formal and informal interactions between scientists and scholar-in-training by presenting their latest research, learning what is hot in the field, arranging collaborative studies and training the next generation of radiological scientists. I urge all of you to attend the meeting and I look forward to welcoming you to Puerto Rico.
