Arthur N. Popper, Editor
Serendipity: An Introduction
This is my last issue as editor of Acoustics Today (AT)! I started editing AT in 2014. During my term as editor, I have solicited and edited something like 275 scholarly articles and an equal number of shorter essays and other material, and I have enjoyed every minute of the “job.” I have met and worked with a grand array of Acoustical Society of America (ASA) members, learned an immense amount about acoustics and other scholarly fields, and have worked with the marvelous ASA Publications staff.
