Thanks for contributing such a cool paper!

James Openshaw @openshaw.bsky.social · Apr 24

Most of all, thanks to the contributors for their excellent papers, clearly showing, I think, that this is a pressing and exciting area of research. I hope the papers prompt lots of further work!

James Openshaw @openshaw.bsky.social · Apr 24

This was very much a joint effort, so huge thanks to co-editors Kirk and Denis for their collaboration. We began discussing this in 2020-21, and held a conference on the topic in 2022. Great to see it finally out. Thanks as well to all who kindly reviewed.
