Dear MCX/MMC users,

I am honored to be invited to give a talk next Monday (May 10th at noon EDT, or 9AM PDT) at JBO's hot-topics webinar dedicated to open-source Monte Carlo photon simulators. I will be giving a brief review on the 12-year development of our MCX project. I will also use the opportunity to make an announcement for a major new addition (to be revealed!) to our MCX simulation platform. Drs. Fabrizio Martelli from University of Florence and Lothar Lilge from University of Toronto will also present their most recent works related to MC simulation. Drs. Steve Jacques and Brian Pogue will be moderating the webinar.

I look forward to seeing you at this wonderful forum organized by Dr. Brian Pogue, Editor-in-Chief of JBO.

Also, as I mentioned in my previous announcement, we (Fabrizio, Lothar and I) also cordially invite you to consider submitting a paper for an upcoming JBO special issue to celebrate the 30-yr of achievements made by open-source MC simulators, beginning with the publication of MCML (Lihong Wang, Scott Prahl, and Steve Jacques)! This special issue will be accepting submission in Sep this year. See official link of this special issue at

If you have any questions related to this special issue, feel free to let me know.

Cheers

Dear Qianqian Fang,

Mark your calendar for 10 May at 9 am PDT to join Editor-in-Chief and moderator Brian Pogue for the next in the JBO Webinar Series: Open-source Monte Carlo code, with speakers Qianqian Fang (Northeastern University), Fabrizio Martelli (University of Florence), and Lothar Lilge (University of Toronto).

The moderator and presenters in this webinar have been the chief architects of some of the most widely distributed and used Monte Carlo codes in the world. They have a unique perspective about both the value of this computational technique, and how to culture a scientific community around software that gives and takes from each other seamlessly.

This balance between collaboration and competition is one of the best examples of what drives scientific advances, where people are committed to the intellectual benefit of the field.

There is an entire community of people working in this space, and these speakers will address their own work as well as the work of others who are advancing these tools for understanding how light interacts with tissue.
