摘要：	I've been on a fascinating ride over the last five years during which I have edited and written for Geosynthetics magazine. I began work as the editor of the magazine on March 1, 2017, and less than two weeks later, I traveled to my first geosynthetics-related conference, Geotechnical Frontiers 2017, March 12-15, 2017, in Orlando, Fla. I remember sitting in on multiple technical sessions and plenary lectures with a distinct cluelessness about what I was hearing. Thankfully, the magazines previous editor, Ron Bygness, who had edited the magazine for 11 years and was retiring, stayed on to help me learn the ropes for four months after I started. He was there in Orlando, and I recall being reassured when a particular unnamed geosynthetics expert pitched an idea for a feature to Ron. After the expert left, I asked Ron what the heck the expert was proposing, and Ron said he had no idea, but he would decide later when the expert communicated with him whether the idea would work for the magazine. This little bit of honesty and humility from Ron allowed me to take a lot of pressure off myself, as I realized it likely would take quite a while for me to get my mind around geosynthetics. I also realized that there would be some things that I would never fully understand, as I am a publishing professional, not a geotechnical engineer.
