    Topological link concordance is an equivalence relation on the set of links. Strong quasipositivity is a property defined from the realization of links as the closure of a braid. This paper's main result is that every link is topologically concordant to a strongly quasipositive link. The authors situate this result in the existing literature on the topic, and mention a wide array of consequences. They also prove a more technical version of the result, and give a self-contained and well-illustrated proof.
