A new chapter for IS-MPMI
For many of us, this society has been more than a professional organization—it’s been our scientific home and identity. Over the years, the MPMI community has shepherded discoveries that reached far beyond plant-microbe interactions: Agrobacterium DNA transfer, immune receptors, RNAi, TAL effectors, and much more.
Many of you know that the last few years haven’t been entirely smooth. That’s why the decision by Jean and the Board to transition the society to self-management is both bold and necessary. Kudos to them for not sitting idle and taking action.
Now it’s our turn.
Our field is thriving—both through fundamental discoveries and through impactful applications. To carry IS-MPMI into its next chapter, the society will need the energy and participation of its members.
So please consider getting involved. Volunteer. Share ideas. Help shape what comes next—whether you’re an early-career scientist or a long-time member of the community.
As a past President of IS-MPMI, I want to thank Jean and the Board for their leadership and courage.
The next chapter starts now. See you in Jeju!
