At the same time, we thank Beverley Diamond, Naila Ceribašić and Stephen Wild, who will be retiring from their functions on the advisory board, for the time and effort they contributed to the development of MMRC since its inception! It was a pleasure working with you and we wish you good luck for all your current and future projects, scholarly or otherwise! Hopefully, there will be other collaborations among us in the future.
