Editorial
Dear InterPore colleagues, Busy times with the start of InterPore2025 in two weeks time! I hope all tickets, ESTA forms, hotel bookings, conference courses and social activities have been arranged! I still have to work on my presentation. Luckily, I have a long flight ahead of me to wrap things up. The good old scientific rat race! Well, I know it is old, I am not so sure whether it is good. Anyway, today’s Newsletter looks also further than the conference, with national chapter meetings coming up as well. And how nice and valuable these chapter meetings are, as you can find in the reports from recent events. All the best, Matthijs de Winter |

Must See... in Albuquerque!
InterPore2025 will be in Albuquerque. This week's cultural highlight: An unforgettable journey through stunning desert landscapes, rich Native American heritage, and charming historic towns. The Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway provides an ideal opportunity to experience the diverse culture and natural beauty of the region in a leisurely drive. Named after turquoise, a gemstone that has been mined in the region for centuries, the route showcases New Mexico's deep ties to Native American, Spanish, and Anglo cultures. This 50-mile trail passes through iconic landmarks, including Albuquerque’s historic Old Town, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Tijeras, Cedar Crest, Madrid, and Cerrillos, offering stunning vistas, and unique communities that feel frozen in time.
