We have got it covered…

As Professors Hart, Jenkins and Smyth make way for Professors Griffiths, O'Kane and Quint, we have reflected on the front covers that demonstrated our ambition of embedding originality, rigour and excellence across paediatric and adult research in respiratory, sleep and critical care medicine. If only we could have considered this maxim more deeply when we were writing Airwaves each month. We hope you enjoyed reading Airwaves significantly more than we enjoyed writing it.

This month’s Airwaves moves from first to last, art to science, frivolity to the important, collaboration to interdependence and some unusual and surprising. The Triumvirate had become addicted to the continuous improvement of Thorax and now it’s time for them to rest and get into rehab.
