We just want to take a moment to say thank you to our amazing families and our wonderful husbands, Iván and Jose. They have been there for us through thick and thin, supporting us in every aspect of our lives. We also want to give a shout-out to Ariadna and Paula, who bring us so much joy and love. This book is a tribute to all of them.
We would also like to take this opportunity to dedicate the book to Peter Bannister. This book wouldn’t be the same without his incredible energy. He arrived in our lives like a hurricane full of new ideas and motivation. Thank you for your help in revising this book and in giving us new ideas as to how to continue. We will always be here for you.
However, this book is mainly dedicated to our friendship and to ourselves. A friendship that started in 2018 and that has helped us stay strong in the difficult and competitive world of academia. Together we have grown not only as professionals but also as friends. We have supported each other along this (not easy) ride and have been there for each other every step of the way. Our friendship has helped us through thick and thin. Because of all this, the book that you are reading is dedicated to our friendship. Without it, we would not be here right now.
With this book, we celebrate our friendship and the many more articles, chapters, conferences, and books to come.
You’ve got a friend in me.
