With the beginning of 2002, we thank those editors who are
rotating off and welcome the new. Reviewing Editors leaving are Moses
Chao, Randy Reed, and Carol Barnes. Pat Levitt also leaves to become a
Senior Editor. We have had strong growth in the areas covered by these
editors. This of course reflects admirably on the confidence and
respect that authors have for their Reviewing Editors, so we are
tremendously grateful for their services.
The new Reviewing Editors replacing these individuals are Freda Miller,
Karl Herrup, and Sam Deadwyler. Josh Sanes replaces Pat Levitt. We are
fortunate to attract these new members, who are well known in their
fields, and welcome all of them on board.
Dennis O'Leary is rotating off as Senior Editor. Dennis has overseen
the enlargement of the scope of the Development section to
Development/Plasticity/Repair. He has also been behind the push to
bring down the costs of color to make us more competitive in this and
other areas. We are fortunate to attract Pat to assume the mantle to
continue to build strength in this vital area of neuroscience.
In the central office, Deborah Plavin has been promoted to Managing
Editor. Deborah is well known to all of us already through her work
with Kym Campbell this past year in bringing stability and expertise to
the journal operations in Washington. We look forward to building even
stronger bonds in the coming year through Better Living Through EMail
and Online (!).
Morna Conway, our Journal consultant, will continue to provide expert
advice, particularly on finances. Finally, on behalf of the
Journal I would like to give a warm welcome to the new Executive Director of the Society, Marty Saggese. We are looking forward to his bringing even greater efficiency to the operations of
the Society and the Journal, and helping us all meet the
challenges ahead.
