Congratulations to Prof. Chen for setting up the new CRC Book Series (FOT4STEM)

https://www.routledge.com/Fractional-Order-Thinking-in-Exploring-the-Frontiers-of-STEM/book-series/FOT4STEM

The idea came from the pandemic times when Prof. Bruce J West and Prof. YangQuan Chen were having regular meetings for random chats on research opportunities and ideas. It took a while to get this set up with Taylor Francis thanks to Ms. Lian Sun, Publisher, Taylor & Francis Advanced Learning.
