Dr. Katherina Psarra, eNews Editor, opens this October issue with the following words: "Dear colleagues, the weather has changed, and the fall is here to stay. Just remember to look at the sky when out. You will see beautiful cloud patterns at this time of the year, and they will make you happier. I am sure you appreciated a lot the first Townhalls. They were clearly a successful, new, modern way of direct communication between the Board and all IFCC members. The IFCC president is presenting them in his message, while also inviting us to Euromedlab Munchen 2021 and to the General Assembly in 2022. So many exciting events to look forward to! In this issue, you will find reports of meetings that took place during the last months, virtually or in person. The POCT meeting in Rome, with great information about technological innovations, the 11th International Palestinian Conference of Laboratory Medicine with IFCC-ABBOTT Visiting Lecturer Program (VLP) participation are thoroughly presented, so that we ourselves can have a glimpse. The issue also speaks about a Royal honor for our colleague Dr. Cas Weykamp. He was appointed Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion because of his exceptional achievements in clinical chemistry and the worldwide standardization of blood tests for diabetes in particular. Isn’t this recognition wonderful for our profession? A very interesting interview with Junior Member Rodrigo Pessoa Rejas as he answers in a very direct way on how participation in the C-CMBC course influences/d his career and four teams awarded by Univants for their successful teamwork for the patients benefit complete this exciting fall issue. Till the next issue don’t forget to look at the sky! ... and to go through all our articles".
