We are delighted to announce that Filippo Bonini Baraldi has been elected Chairperson and Stella Paschalidou Vice-Chairperson of SoMoS. Both were elected unanimously, and the handover took place during the Business Meeting at our recent symposium in Lisbon, on Friday, September 25.

To the new officers: thank you for taking up the challenge, and best wishes for moving our study group forward!

To the outgoing Chairperson, Kendra Stepputat, and Vice-Chairperson, Lara Pearson, both founders of our study group: thank you so much for your vision, for bringing SoMoS to life, and for your eight years (and more!) of dedication and commitment to the group's mission.

Apologies to Stella and Lara for not having documented their handover!
