In this editorial that marks #Yeast 's 40th anniversary, our former editor Stephen Oliver walks us through the journal's history, from its very first steps to the change of the editorial board in more recent years, and wishes the best for Yeast's future 🙂

with a pretty big crew & @stelkens.bsky.social ! Story started over 20 years ago, fun to jump in late and help wrap it up :)
Please join us at this #EMBOEvoEco Workshop on 6-9 October 2026. It is hands down one of my (if not THE) favourite conferences with a real community feeling and it's great for networking! Also, the catering is excellent. :)
Super excited to share our lab's work led by PhD student Margot Ruffieux on domestication of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with a focus on sourdough and baking associated yeast! 🍞
