Dear reader,
I’m glad to report that in the past year, the number of our followers has steadily grown. We have therefore decided to increase the frequency of our newsletters to four times per year.
Here’s our 2021 Q3 edition. Besides the regular overview of recent publications, you will find two new elements:
- a short ‘making-of’ report from one of our editors, offering you some insight into our research process, and
- a ‘donation’ button, which we hope some of you will actually press on.
If you have any questions, suggestions or tips, please contact us without delay!
Best regards,
Marcel Metze
Editor-in-chief
