Grant was writing his editor’s message just ahead of the 2024 conference. He commended the organizing committee for putting together an excellent program and encouraged readers to attend the great talks, the AGM, and the awards banquet, and (of course) to check in at the hospitality suite! He also encouraged readers to make a point of introducing themselves to colleagues from across the country (and beyond) so that they can learn from the successes and challenges of people from various disciplines within radiation protection.
