We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague, Emili Saló, professor at the University of Barcelona. Emili was a true pioneer in the planarian research community and a mentor to many scientists in the field today. He will be greatly missed and remembered.

Finally, check out Kolja Schnoor’s talk and/or poster “Investigating oxygen and nutrient supply limitations as potential determinants of Kleiber's Law in planarians” if you’re attending the XXIII Conference of the International Society for Biological Calorimetry.

And that’s a wrap! We hope everyone had as enjoyable and productive a time at ISFB XVI as we did. Thanks for attending, and we’ll see you again in Sant Feliu in 2029!
