Letter from new DB Editor-in-Chief

Abstract

At the onset of 2014, I am honored to assume the position of Editor-in-Chief of Developmental Biology, the official journal of the Society for Developmental Biology, and published by Elsevier. First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the out-going Editor-in-Chief, Robb Krumlauf, for his wonderful leadership and outstanding contributions to the journal over the past nine years. Having served as an editor under his guidance, I have learned much from his excellent example and hope to continue on the positive trajectory he has put in place. In dealing with authors and editors alike, he handles manuscripts with fairness, patience, dedication and attention to detail. I also thank my fellow editors for their commitment and devotion to the journal and look forward to continuing interactions with them on the editorial board. Developmental Biology is run entirely by active scientists and for scientists, and we thank them for dedicating their valuable time and energy to efficient operation of our society's Journal.
