A Pin and the Blue Thing [From the Editor]

Several days ago, I received a surprise in my mailbox. No, it was not the mailbox on my e-mail client but rather the real one on a post at the side of the road. It was rather nice to receive a piece of real mail addressed to me rather than “occupant” as well as something that I could hold in my hand rather than look at on a computer screen. Even better, the return address said IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), so it was likely to be something of significance rather than an advertisement or a bill. Upon opening the padded envelope, I found a very nice lapel pin with the EMBS logo and a blue piece of some kind of elastomer material in the shape of the EMBS logo.
