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.

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:

Recent covers of roots magazine

As managing editor of roots magazine, I get to work with some fascinating images. Here are pictures of the covers of two of the most recent issues of roots, showing some of these wonderful photographs. I am very pleased with the way these turned out.

The first cover shown below features an image of a TrueTooth replica developed by Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan. The second cover shows the magnified insides of cleaned and disinfected root canal after treatment with a dental laser.

In my humble opinion, these are the nicest-looking covers of roots that I have prepared to date. Which is your favorite?

San Francisco for work — and a Segway adventure!

I just got back from San Francisco, where I attended the “CDA Presents the Art and Science of Dentistry” event, conducted by the California Dental Association. Dental Tribune published three issues of our at-show newspaper, and as part of my editorial assignments I photographed much of the activity in the exhibit hall and in the classrooms. I also wrote up a few articles about some of the educational offerings and some of the other activity.

After the work portion of the trip concluded, I stayed in town for an extra day to do a bit of sightseeing. The highlight was a Segway tour of the waterfront area. I had never been on a Segway before, and I was a bit apprehensive to do this on streets with such steep hills. But it turned out to be a great way to travel!

Anaheim for the dental conference

I just got back from Anaheim, Calif., where I attended “CDA Presents the Art and Science of Dentistry” for work. Dental Tribune published three “at-show” newspapers at this event, and I was one of the three editors who were assigned to cover the proceedings.

On one of the days I had two articles and pictures on Page 1, and on another day I photographed NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Retired MLB pitching ace Orel Hershiser, who were signing autographs in the exhibit hall.
