Funding Information:
To my dearest proof-reader Jan Schley ? 100% reliable, even when getting drafts and panic messages at 2 am. On a more personal note, I want to thank Prof. David Ojcius, who is about to take on new challenges after guiding Microbes and Infection for twelve years as a great editor in chief. Nearly a decade ago, he decided to give an unexperienced PhD student from somewhere across the Atlantic a chance at the keyboard in the form of the freshly created ?Meet the Author? highlights. I am profoundly grateful for everything this task has taught me.
