New season, new system! As we roll into summer and head toward EHPS 2025 in Groningen, the EHP editorial team has been navigating the wild frontier of innovation — testing out a brand-new publication process. It’s been a journey full of plot twists, minor disasters, valuable lessons, and healthy doses of perseverance. We apologise in advance for anything that feels a little less polished — we’re learning as we go and aiming to improve with each issue. In this editorial, we share the highlights of this edition, celebrate the incredible work of our community, and offer a glimpse of what’s coming next. Consider it your slightly chaotic but well-meaning pre-conference companion. Wish us luck — and enjoy the read!
