Dear all

Time for another newsletter and also a good opportunity to thank all of you who either made your way to the annual meeting a month ago to Snekkersten, and to those of you who attended online. To many of us, this was the first physical conference in 15 months and the weather was wonderful and spirits high. As usual, the breaks gave good opportunity for informal scientific discussions. It was great to see so many of you present novel data and publications are on the rise. A special thanks goes to Vibeke Dam for organizing games and quizzes for the ECF members, who got to know each other much better.

Summer holidays are now coming up – we wish you wonderful and well-deserved holidays.
