Moving to the virtual space… EMWA’s fall conference was a virtual event, but with a twist – local hubs were established to permit a face-to-face experience for participants in Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Serbia, and Switzerland. In this EMWA President’s column, Maria Kołtowska-Häggström discusses the fall conference and the inspiring talk given by Ivan Oransky, MD, who is co-founder of Retraction Watch, editor-in-chief of Spectrum, and distinguished journalist in-residence at New York University’s Arthur Carter Journalism Institute. She also discusses other highlights from the most recent conference. Medical Writing. 2023;32(4):8. https://doi.org/10.56012/choi1701
