As we bid farewell to our esteemed colleague and friend, Dr. Afshin Pendashteh, we celebrate the new chapter he embarks on as an editor at Nature Communications. Over the years, Afshin has been an invaluable part of our research group, contributing his extensive expertise in electrochemistry and his unwavering dedication and collaborative spirit. His insights have significantly shaped our work, and his presence will be deeply missed.

While his new role takes him in a different direction, we are confident that this is not goodbye but rather a continuation of our professional relationship. We look forward to maintaining a strong connection with him. We are proud of your accomplishments and eager to see all that you achieve at Nature Communications. 

Best of luck, Afshin!
