We're delighted to welcome two new Editors-in-Chief to Marine and Freshwater Research: Shokoofeh Shamsi and Vinicius Farjalla! Shokoofeh is Professor in Veterinary Parasitology at Charles Sturt University. Her career has been dedicated to understanding the complex interactions between aquatic ecosystems and their inhabitants, particularly the extreme associations that lead to parasitism. Vinicius is a Professor in the Department of Ecology at Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. His research focuses on freshwater aquatic ecosystems in Brazil, including lakes, rivers, coastal lagoons, floodplains, temporary pools, and even plants that accumulate water (tank bromeliads). It's exciting to have both of you on the team! We'd like to extend a special thank you to Max Finlayson, who has now officially stepped down from the journal's board. Max has been a champion of the journal since 2012 and helped build Marine and Freshwater Research into the trusted, internationally-respected journal it is today. We wish Max all the best.

Congratulations to Chieh Lin, recipient of the Australian Journal of Botany annual prize for best student-authored paper for 2024! Studying at James Cook University, Chieh's research focus is on seagrass beds connectivity, resilience, and recovery. "I am grateful for the opportunity to study such dynamic and diverse seagrass meadows in Tropical Queensland," Chieh told us. "It is amazing how these seagrass meadows thrive despite multiple natural and anthropogenic disturbance. In my PhD, I am dedicated to applying functional traits to improve our understating of seagrass resilience." He sent us two photos, and we couldn't pick between them. "The daytime photo was taken at Cape Pallarenda, Townsville," Chieh explained. "The other at Nelly Bay, Magnetic Island during my field work. Both photos were taken by Yiyin Eryn Chang." #AusJBotany

Australian Health Review has published a new research collection, 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health – beyond Closing the Gap'. Empowering First Nations communities and committing to long-term political action are essential to addressing the systemic health disparities they face. True change requires giving them control over their healthcare and sustained efforts to tackle the root causes of inequity for lasting justice and healing. The articles in this collection share a vision for building a healthcare system that is truly equitable, and in which First Nations peoples are no longer left behind.

Congratulations to Neville Walsh and Daniel Murphy on the publication of Wattles of Victoria and Tasmania, a guide to 121 Acacia species that is grounded in the research of Arthur Court (1927–2012) and Alan Gibb (1943–2022). "It’s very fulfilling to have this book in hand, showcasing the dedicated work of many years from Arthur and Alan alongside more recent advances in the studies of Acacia... we hope and trust that this work will usefully fill a gap in the armoury of students of Victorian and Tasmanian botany!" – Neville Walsh & Daniel Murphy Neville is seen here beside a Typo Wattle (Acacia boormanii subsp. gibba), named in honour of Alan Gibb. #Botany #AustralianBotany

We're excited to welcome a new journal to the fold: Australian and New Zealand Continence Journal (ANZCJ)!

Congratulations Nahuel Bautista, recipient of the 2024 Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science (JSHESS) Best Student Paper Award! “Bautista et al. stands out for the depth of its analysis and the substantial amount of work put into it - impressive for a student paper," said the selection committee. "The authors investigate CO2 fluxes in Argentina under different synoptic conditions, using high-resolution WRF-Chem coupled with a vegetation model. The findings not only inform on CO2 flux uncertainties but also provide insights into optimising WRF modelling configuration for more accurate greenhouse gas estimates in climate change studies.” "Biometeorology is super exciting," Nahuel told us. "It provides a lot of variety so you never get bored. Additionally, the whole community benefits from its research. Understanding the interactions between the biosphere and the atmosphere provides people with tools to make better decisions. For instance, an accurate estimation of the carbon exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere helps the community to comprehend the consequences of climate change. This is essential to mitigate its harmful effects." JSHESS is an open access journal published on behalf of the Bureau of Meteorology in association with the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS), and AMOS generously contributes prizes to this award.
