What
Is Old Is New Again

Restructuring
has been a key word for some time within IUPAC, as this 12-year
old cartoon, previously published in CI, candidly testified.
Over time, questions find answers, and good composition glue
strengthens. My point of view is that the structure of the Unionthe
way it operates and the resulting benefits for the chemistry
communityrelies essentially on the people involved. My
greatest privilege while working at IUPAC has not been working
for the Union, but has been working with the volunteers that
surround it. As it will be four years next month that my work
ID became fabienne at iupac dot org, I feel it is time for me
to say "thanks" to youand I might add "thanks
for sticking around."
