I want to say thank you to those who put on and participated in this year’s (and last year’s) conference and kept the AoIR community thriving and alive. The gratitude I feel is beyond words. As importantly, the gratitude I feel for everyone who has participated, whether on the executive committee, with conference organizing, conference participation, or conversation on air-l, is immense. The past… nearly two years now, too, too long… have been difficult in so many ways for so many people and continue to challenge us, but the spirit of care, community and collaboration that has been the hallmark of AoIR has continued to be an inspiration. I wish you all the best and I will hope to see as many of you as possible at the next meeting that I fervently hope will take place in person in Dublin, Ireland. Steve Jones
