The High Line
One of my favorite places to walk is along the High Line. It’s an elevated rail platform on the west side of Manhattan that trains ran on was used many decades ago to transport freight. For years it sat empty until, finally, it was turned into a park. Today you can climb stairs or take an elevator to get to it, and you can walk all the way from Gansevoort Street to West 34th. On a nice day, it’s not to be missed.
Austin Powers impersonator
No, this is not Mike Myers. It’s the “Austin Powers impersonator,” and I’ve run into this character on the exhibit hall floor at many dental conventions over the years.
He is hired by Millennium Dental Technologies, a company that manufactures laser equipment for use by dentists, to help draw attention to the company booth. He does this in a fun, lighthearted way.
His name is Richard Halpern, and you can learn more about him at his Facebook page. Also check out my interview with Richard that I wrote recently for Dental Tribune.
The latest issue of roots magazine includes my interview with the president of the AAE
I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Robert S. Roda, the incoming president of the American Association of Endodontists (AAE), during the association’s annual session, held recently in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Roda is a practicing endodontist in Arizona and an educator. My interview with him is published in the latest issue of roots magazine, shown below. The interview with Dr. Roda is also on the Dental Tribune website — direct link here.
A senseless tragedy
These dental students were killed in a senseless act of gun violence. I used local police sources and statements from the ADA to put together a report for Dental Tribune. To read my article, click here.
San Antonio for work
I recently got back from a work trip to San Antonio. The American Dental Association was holding its annual session there, and I was on site to help cover the event for Dental Tribune.
We published three issues of our at-show newspaper. I conducted interviews on site with executives from Henry Schein Dental and attended a press briefing presented by the Boston University dental school and Sirona Dental.
My articles were published in print, as well as on the Dental Tribune website — links here and here.
I also photographed many of the exhibitors at the event:
On the way to and from the convention center each day, we passed by the Alamo! I was able to take pictures in both daytime and at night:
