s we approach the end of 2025 and begin to look forward to 2026, I want to share a quick update about Global Forum’s publication schedule. Beginning this year, we’ll be taking a short end-of-year break — our way of giving our volunteer editors and contributors some time to rest, recharge, and reflect on the year’s accomplishments — and we will not publish a December issue.

Looking ahead, we also plan to introduce a midyear pause in 2026 by combining the July issue with the August issue to provide an additional opportunity for our team and contributors to take a well-earned break.

2025 has been an inspiring and productive year for Global Forum. We introduced new sections, refocused others, and delivered in each issue new ideas, collaborations, and conversations that continue to strengthen our global life sciences community. Thank you for being part of our journey.

We look forward to returning in January 2026 with fresh insights and stories from across the life sciences ecosystem. Wishing you all a restful and joyful close to 2025.

Warm Regards,
Chris M. Slawecki
Managing Editor, Global Forum
