Comments from the new Editor

摘要

It is an immense pleasure and honour to take over as the Editor of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. I am particularly fortunate to assume stewardship of this flagship publication when it has thrived under the superb leadership of my colleague and friend Georgina Mace, who has done so much to develop the journal and to keep it safe through what have been turbulent times for scientific publishing. It is somewhat daunting to have such a predecessor to emulate, but I hope and intend to develop the journal and to maintain its position as a world leading publication in the life sciences.
