During the 27th annual meeting of the NBTE 2018, there was a wonderful line-up and triggered many discussions. During the Thursday evening lecture, Prof. dr. Morgan Alexander delivered wonderful insights in the excellent research that his group is doing on high-throughput biomaterial development and placed this in a historical perspective with fun facts that are generally not known by the public. In one word FANTASTIC.

Additionally, at the end of the conference the award ceremony was held for best oral presentation, best poster, and best conference chair. To have an idea what wonderful lectures and posters were presented, please have a look at the program Program NBTE 27th Annual Meeting 2018.pdf .
