Many thanks to all, who have been engaging for GA as candidates for the election. And already now many thanks to the board members stepping out, i.e. Anna Rita Bilia, past president, to Andreas Hensel, with about 20 years in the board its most longstanding member, and to Attila Hunyadi, for their tremendous services for GA.
Please join us with a warm welcome to Nikolas Fokialakis (Athens, Greece) as future vice president, and Luiz Carlos Klein Junior (Itajaí, Brazil) and Ronald Quinn (Brisbane, Australia) as advisory board members. With all major regions of our globe being represented, our board will be mirroring the worldwide outreach of GA, so to be prepared for the challenges of a globalized future in science.
