A new group picture has been posted following the arrival of new members in the Gaia Science Team. Rodolfo Smiljanic from Warsaw, Poland and Johannes Sahlmann from ESAC (new Gaia Project Scientist since this year) now appear in the picture as well. We thank Timo Prusti for his contribution to the Gaia mission as project scientist. He was active as Gaia Science Team chair since 2007 and will retire from this duty end December 2024.
