Summary

The MAT Editorial Collective

As autumn descends in Scotland, we find it hard to believe that we in Edinburgh have been editing MAT for nearly two years This has been a busy and productive (as well as difficult) time for us, and we hope you have enjoyed the content of the journal as much as we have.
