Physics first: Faster and fairer—A renewed vision for Physics of Fluids from the new co-Editors-in-Chief Physics of Fluids was founded in 1958 under its first editor, François Frenkiel, and was subsequently guided by editors such as Andreas Acrivos and later Gary L

What should #FluidMechanics papers focus on today? This editorial argues for a “physics-first” approach: beyond data and simulations, real progress comes from understanding mechanisms and scaling laws.

What do universities’ commitments to inclusion actually achieve? - LSE Impact Can the ostensible focus of inclusion initiatives in higher education, create perverse incentives that work to undermine these goals?
