The lastest journal issue of Fire Technology is particularly big. I recommend taking a quick look to see if any fire paper there catches your attention. If something does, give it a read and consider sharing it. You might discover a useful insight for your own research, for colleagues, or even a lesson in an unexpected fire topic. More broadly, it is a good habit to keep a regular (but efficient) eye on what journals in the fire science community are publishing. I would include Fire Technology, Fire Safety Journal, Fire and Materials, International Journal of Wildland Fire, and Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, with Combustion and Flame and Proceedings of the Combustion Institute as additional valuable sources.

Congratulations to @AminRikesh for publishing his first PhD paper as lead author. We thank ARUP and EPSRC for funding, Eriks Gustavs Tipans from TUM for introducing the data into VAQT, Dr. Harry Mitchell for core comments.

I am right here in the same place as this photo. SKLFS at USTC Hefei is an important institution to the making of modern fire science.

I just gave an online seminar to the fire engineering team of Bureau Veritas UK. It felt great; spot on questions. I hope they enjoyed it. The topic was *Fire Engineering Challenges of Innovation and Sustainability*. Thank you Iza for inviting me, you have a great team.

Firefighters in Germany got together and provided an in-depth investigation of their fire statistics and true extent of fire safety in their buildings. Their paper is extraordinarily informative, novel and important. ⁦@FireTechnology⁩ link.springer.com/article/10…

Ever wondered which UN Sustainable Development Goals are most associated to fire science? This is a case study for @FireTechnology. Thank you @r_lovreglio for leading. doi.org/10.1007/s10694-023-0…
