![]() The aim of Crystal Growth & Design (CG&D) is to stimulate cross-fertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial application of crystalline materials. Looking forward, we are already inviting and receiving submissions for a Virtual Special Issue again highlighting Emerging Investigators that will be published in 2022, and I cordially invite you to take part or recommend a colleague at the beginning of their career. This virtual collection follows on from the very successful 2019 Emerging Investigators Virtual Issue, and it is striking to see how the 2019 authors have already become familiar and important members of the field. It is a particular pleasure to highlight the work of my colleagues Elena Simone, Doris Braun, and Kodi Beyeh who have recently joined the journal’s Board as two-year Topic Editors. This is very much the community that the journal has been trying to crystallize over the past 20 years. We have taken the liberty of asking our authors a few fun facts about themselves, and what emerges is a rich snapshot of people reading, sporting, cooking, growing, parenting, communicating, and joking with passion and modest self-deprecation. In addition to the science itself, the diversity and personalities of the people who carry it out are an indication of the health of our field. Here you will find fascinating science ranging from terahertz spectroscopy, elastic crystals, eutectics, oleofoams, nanocrystals, nonlinear optics, MOF-HOFs, pillars, catalytic coordination polymers, semiconductor nucleation, thermochromism, pharmaceuticals, and a host of other delicious topics in solid state structure–function. Yeah, room three-twenty-one.New ideas from fresh minds are the lifeblood of any scientific discipline, and where better to look for new ideas in solid state chemistry and physics than in the work of the emerging generation of leaders in the field? We have put together a collection of 28 exciting publications from the past two years by the emerging generation of research group leaders. Who’s that gigglin' in the background, Coy? Hello? Hello?
