In this issue, we reflect on the highlights from ECE 2022 in Milan (page 3), the ESE Award winners (page 16) and the new European Hormone Day initiative (page 4). On page 5, we reflect on our President, Martin Reincke’s address. On page 7, Martin Fassnacht talks about his own experience in endocrine research and on pages 8−9, you can take advice from four leading researchers. The debate on the naming of PitNETs versus pituitary adenomas is summarised eloquently for us by on page 10. Page 12 discusses captivating studies on the communication between GnRH neurones and glial progenitors that leads to puberty. We welcome the new initiative EUWIN (European Women in Endocrinology) and an article on achieving gender equity by Joy Wu (page 4 and 11). We bring you highlights from ESE journals, including the new ESE Guideline on endocrine side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (page 13), and a study into the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on rates of precocious puberty in girls (page 14).
