The Future of Acoustics Today

As my tenure of Acoustics Today (AT) Editor comes to an end (with the winter 2024 issue), I look back on 241 articles published since I started (and 370 since the start of AT), and the many other pieces we have included in “Sound Perspectives.” One of my goals as editor has been to have articles that reflect the diversity of our very broad discipline that, hopefully, help all of us learn about, understand, and appreciate the breath of disciplines within the field of acoustics. But the role of AT is not only to provide interesting articles but also to inform Acoustical Society of America (ASA) members about our Society, our members, and other issues that members might find of interest.
