Letter from the Editor
/
After a gorgeous spring, western Maryland gave way to an equally gorgeous summer. The steam bath characteristic of summer in the metropolitan DC area has been spotty, and we’ve been blessed with cool mornings and warm, sunny days which extend well past dinnertime until blending into darkness and the cool of evening. The dogwood and red bud have long ceased their colorful springtime displays, and the vividly colored wildflowers that dotted the towpath of the C&O Canal have yielded to the shade cast by the dense green canopy of the hackberry, river birch, sycamore and elm trees that thrive along the Potomac. Back at home my garden grows. The melon vines extend everywhere, and the berry bushes seem to double in size with each rainfall.
Migraineur is participating in this season of growth. We have published 15 issues of the magazine since its debut in December 2016 BC (Before Covid). Our readership continues to expand and is now international in scope, and we are preparing to publish Spanish and Portuguese language versions of the magazine. Much has been accomplished by a small cadre of talented, dedicated individuals, and now – in the spirit of the season – we are growing our editorial staff a bit.
It is my great pleasure to announce to our readership that Drs. Robert Cowan and Richard Lipton have accepted my invitations to become senior editorial advisers. Both are recognized internationally for their expertise in the field of headache medicine, but I’ve also been lucky to know them as humorous, articulate, eclectic friends possessed of admirable degrees of unquestionably high personal and professional integrity. I am very pleased and proud to welcome them into the Migraineur family.
As a source of information for migraineurs, this magazine has become widely regarded as “best in class” for its eye-catching visual presentation and the high quality of its content. The first derives from the magic of our production editor, Mindy Yuan. The latter, the magazine’s content, is of course the product of our writers, and with the addition of these two superb clinical neuroscientists and authors that content is certain only to improve.
