Editorial

Dear InterPore colleagues,

Especially in times of political turmoil, the world needs balance through positive action. Such as by sharing our academic leadership experiences (check out the survey below), by evaluating and improving our meetings (check out the InterPore2025 survey) and basically by doing our jobs. Educate future generations, improve our understanding of droughts, of greater battery efficiencies, of nanoporous medicines, of CO2 sequestration and PFAS remediation, and share it at our Chapter meetings, InterPore Journal, and all the other means we have!

All the best,

Matthijs de Winter
Editor-in-Chief
