Katia Bertoldi, of Harvard University, has graciously our invitation to be Editor of the iMechanica Journal Club. Katia has a knack to organize really interesting and inspiring symposia and workshops.  Here are two examples:

Extreme Mechanics: Elasticity and Deformation.

• The New England Workshop on the Mechanics of Materials and Structures.

Katia is a dynamic and energetic researcher.  In additional to working on problems of broad interest to mechanicians, she works effectively with industries, and with people in areas not in traditional mechanics.  She is exceptionally close to students.

iMechanica has now over 26,800 registered users.  We are excited that Katia will take this leadership role, and bring iMechanica users together to discuss great mechanics problems of the day.
