We started the year with the Theory RIG Welcome and Showcase Day—a wonderful chance to connect, share ideas, and celebrate our community’s amazing science! The day featured a warm welcome, lunch, lively poster discussions, a fun fact-matching game, and fascinating talks showcasing exciting new research. We capped it all off with a drinks reception, leaving everyone inspired and energized for the year ahead. A big congratulations to Xavi for winning the best Theory RIG poster prize for his exciting work on "Proton accumulation at the graphene/water interface." Well done!
