Congratulations to all who made this meeting, from Nov 5-8, such a collegial and productive event. The main scientific activity was a set of interactive discussions led by Yajie , Sam, Noemie, Matt, Lorenzo and Ani. As well as reviewing recent and upcoming progress we assembled material for our upcoming proposal. In addition, we had a very enjoyable dinner.

Hayley West has successfully defended her master's thesis at UTSA!

In June 2025, UTSA became a lively gathering place for students and scientists drawn together by a shared curiosity about electrodynamics and plasma physics. For two weeks, twenty-one students from campuses stretching from Berkeley to Aix-Marseille learned side-by-side with nineteen lecturers from institutions like Stanford, Princeton, and Maryland. Conversations flowed, ideas mixed, and a sense of community formed as they explored phenomena found in the most extreme corners

Congratulations to all who contributed to making our second annual meeting at UW, Madison a resounding success. The prepared and lightening talks were all excellent and stimulated much debate and discussion. It was striking how many new observational developments were presented to challenge and inspire us! Thanks, especially, to Ellen, Ke, Sasha and Alexandra for the smooth organization.

It has just been announced that Sasha Philippov has been awarded a prestigious 2024 Packard Fellowship. So well-deserved.
