PSA: Bone has extremely dynamic embedded cells (osteocytes) about which we know little compared to other cell types. Most people I meet don’t know this … we need better PR! #orthotwitter #ScienceTwitter

Over 70% of youth athletes drop out of sports before they enter high school.. The reasons according to the kids themselves: Too much pressure to win, poor coaching, being forced to “choose” and specialize in a single sport at too early of an age, too expensive for parents, team/club politics, etc. If you Google “Youth Sports Drop Out” You’ll find multiple sources & studies. – at California, USA

ORS was saddened to learn of the death of Fred Nelson, MD. An active member of the society, he is perhaps best known as the author of the ORS Basic Science Tips. Prior to this death, he was interviewed about his Basic Science Tips as well as his involvement in ORS.
