Dear friends and colleagues, a quick update on my new position in life. I have retired once again from active ART laboratory responsibilities since January 2019 and am focusing on very select domestic activities directed primarily by my wife. However, I am taking much pleasure as an advisor to a newly formed software technology company (EggsChain) located in Austin, TX. Please check it out here on LinkedIn and at www.eggschain.com - Wei Escala is the Founder/CEO Until virtuality becomes reality again, stay well!

Dear Colleagues,I have resently retired from day to day life in the IVF Lab and will devote more time to the Journal of Clinical Embryology. Please let me know how I can make this journal more important to you in your professional life.Many ThanksKen
