CALL FOR PAPERS

ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGES WAIVED UNTIL JULY 2023

Cyborg and Bionic Systems is an online-only, Open Access journal published in afliation with the Beijing Institute

of Technology (BIT) and distributed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The

journal publishes original, peer-reviewed articles based on fundamental, applied science, or their interaction. Cyborg

and Bionic Systems promotes the knowledge interchange and hybrid system codesign between living beings and

robotic systems. The journal also covers a wide range of felds related to cybernetic organisms (cyborg) and bionic

systems (CBS), mainly including robotics, biomedical engineering and neuro-engineering.

Submit your research to Cyborg and Bionic System today!

2 AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE | aaas.org/meetings

It is di/cult to believe howmuch our world has changed since our 2020AAASAnnual Meeting

in February. The theme of the 2021 Annual Meeting,Understanding Dynamic Ecosystems,

took on a new and unexpected meaning, especially in light of how vital advances in science

and technology come together to meet and to overcome the challenges of today’s rapidly

changing world.

What 2020 has demonstrated is that coming together virtually to highlight and discuss

advances and collaborations across the STEM ecosystem is needed nowmore than ever—

somuch so that we are radically reducing the registration fee for our scientiIc program, thanks

in part to the generous support of our sponsors. We continue to ofer workshops, e-posters,

and other complimentary programming.

Just as the rest of the world has adapted to a new normal, so too has your Annual Meeting

team.Our new virtual format has transformedmany aspects of themeeting, and we extend our

gratitude to our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers for their patience and fexibility.

This February, we hope you will consider sharing your voice with our diverse community of

scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists, and many others.

Sincerely,

Claire M. Fraser, Ph.D.
