Samenvatting
In January of this year, I took over the position of Editor-in-Chief (EIC) for Synthetic Biology from the founding EiC, Jean Peccoud.
It is a real privilege to serve in this role for the next few years. I am looking forward to the opportunities, but I am aware of the responsibility that comes with an editorial leadership position. Academic journals play a pivotal role as stewards of scientific integrity and as platforms for shaping the discourse on future advancements in the field. Journals also have the potential to influence scientific culture and amplify the voices of diverse participants within the scientific community.
In this editorial, I introduce myself and highlight the journal’s aims, scope and future focus areas. Figure 1 shows me during a recent visit at Oxford University Press in Oxford, UK, where I discussed this new role with the editorial office.
