Cover graphics of JVME are intended to attract the attention of readers to the content of an issue. When the content is on a single topic, the cover design is simplified, compared with the difficulty of illustrating two disparate topics, as is the case for this issue. Graphic artist Beth Mellor of Tufts University, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and lead cover illustrator for several past issues of JVME, has once again pulled together the pictorial essence of papers decrying the continued shortage of veterinarians engaged in food-animal medicine and biomedical research. Sadly, these are not new concerns. In spite of this recurring theme in the professional conversation and in previous papers published in JVME, apparently little has changed since the 1970s when I became acutely aware of the problem because of difficulty attracting trainees in laboratory-animal medicine. This drum beat of concern will and should continue until solutions are identified and implemented. JVME challenges its readership to submit manuscripts outlining creative solutions to this problem! This Editor welcomes any and all responses.
