The third issue of the 16th year of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine</i> pays respect to Gordon Moore. Gordon Moore, a pioneer of the semiconductor industry, is best known for Moore’s Law, predicting the doubling of transistors on integrated circuits every two years. Beyond this prediction, those who knew him highlight his insatiable curiosity, business acumen, wisdom, vision, and humility. Moore cofounded Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel, significantly impacting both the semiconductor industry and various philanthropic endeavors. His legacy includes contributions to technology and environmental conservation, reflecting his forward-thinking approach and commitment to societal betterment. Gordon Moore was also instrumental in creating the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council [1], which later became the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS), that organizes educational events, provides networking opportunities, and sponsors conferences, journals, and this magazine, which I hope you enjoy reading!

Provides society information that may include news, reviews or technical notes that should be of interest to practitioners and researchers.

What are friends for if they don’t tactfully let you know when you’re doing something wrong? Without them, you’d be like the fabled emperor and his nonexistent new clothes. It’s much better if someone—a trusted friend—drops you a gentle hint that things are not right. Okay, so here comes your gentle hint.

TechRxiv is a free preprint server for unpublished research in electrical engineering, computer science, and related technology. Powered by IEEE, TechRxiv provides researchers across a broad range of fields the opportunity to share early results of their work ahead of formal peer review and publication.

SPRING 2 0 2 3 IEEE SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS MAGAZINE SCOPE: Each issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine is a self-contained resource for fundamental theories and practical advances within the field of integrated circuits. Written at a tutorial level and often in a narrative style, the magazine features articles by leaders from industry, academia, and government explaining historical milestones, current trends, and future developments. As a reflection of the Society's field of interest, the magazine covers all aspects of solid-state circuits: the design, testing, and application of circuits and subsystems as well as closely related topics in device technology and circuit theory, focusing on scientific, technical, and industrial applications, in addition to other activities that contribute to the field, or utilize the techniques or products of the field, as the art develops.

AS: Congratulations, Jeremy. I should say that I consider myself lucky to have had you as a Ph.D. student in my group and now as the SSCS Arduino Contest program chair under SSCS Education. And Maia, any final thoughts on this contest from your perspective? MH: I truly believe it is a great opportunity that enables students from all backgrounds to give electronics a try. We are determined to make this competition accessible to everyone. So, in addition to our free 5-min tutorial videos, we also run a financial aid program that can cover the cost of purchasing a starter kit for select students. With this, we are lowering barriers and enabling all students to participate, no matter their economic background. JM: And how about yourself? What are your thoughts on Arduino and on this contest? AS: Well, first of all, I am just as excited as you are about the Arduino
