| Sumario: | It is with great pleasure that we write this prologue for the Abstract Book & Fieldtrip Guide of the NOW 25th Anniversary Meeting. This is because of several reasons. Above all, because despite the delay in the celebration (owing to the pandemic) we will finally be able to meet in person with friends and colleagues to celebrate that the NOW database has come of age while being more lively than ever. Furthermore, the attendance to the meeting has been a success that surpassed our initial expectations, not only in terms of the number of contributions but also regarding their quality. This meeting will undoubtedly be an exceptional opportunity for junior and senior vertebrate paleontologists from multiple countries to meet, discuss, and continue collaborating. We hope that this will be a most enriching experience for everyone involved. As far as we are concerned, we are also particularly glad about this meeting because, in some sense, it represents the re-establishment of a practice established by Miquel Crusafont-Pairó (Sabadell, 1910-1983)-the founder of our institution and the 'father' of the Catalan school of vertebrate paleontology (for a biography, see Crusafont i Sabater, 2019)-in the 1950s: to reunite in Sabadell a vast number of most renowned foreign paleontologists, as we explain in further detail below. |
