I’m extremely excited to share the news that I’ll be the next Editor-in-Chief of the AAS Journals!

I’m very excited about this opportunity to help lead the journals that hold such an important place in our field. In the writing and publishing landscape we’re facing today, sharing information has never been easier but trusting information has never been harder, which makes the AAS Journals’ combination of rigorous peer review and accessible science more valuable than ever. These journals have a remarkable legacy of scientific excellence and integrity, and I look forward to serving our community on a large scale by supporting the journals as vital resources in our field and helping to shape their future. You can read more in the official AAS press release.

I’ll step into the role of Editor-in-Chief in September of 2027. I’ll also continue to be a professor in the astronomy department at the University of Washington, and am incredibly grateful for the support and enthusiasm of my colleagues as I take on this new role.
