Dear Colleagues: Last month, I provided a high-level overview of the Society’s many achievements in 2020. I also promised to share a more comprehensive list which I am pleased to unveil with this message. While happy to close the chapter on 2020 and head into 2021, we wanted to share the impactful ways ASBMR supported our members last year, made us all feel a bit more connected, and truly stood as One Global Family. No matter where in the world you live, the shared experiences of 2020 brought us together, even while we were apart. I believe the 2020 Year in Review infographic summarizes these meaningful accomplishments in a way that we can all appreciate. Whatever 2021 may hold – you can count on ASBMR’s resilience to accomplish great things and continue to support our members as your scientific home. Sincerely, Suzanne Jan de Beur, MD ASBMR President
