We are delighted that Jonathan’s article has achieved significant recognition through two prestigious awards.

This acknowledgement highlights the importance of his contributions to the field.
Jonathan expressed his gratitude: “Thank you for the help the KAS provided. The grant was extremely useful. I’m not sure the article would have been possible without it.”
