The following joint Editorial was originally published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (DOI: 10.1021/acsami.0c10979). We confront the terrible reality that systemic racism and discrimination impacts the daily personal and professional lives of many members of the scientific community and broader society. In the U.S., the brutal killing of George Floyd while in police custody is one of the most

The world is in an unprecedented place, and we do not know what the future holds in 2020. We are certain, however, that there will be compelling and timely environmental research that is important to disseminate in a rapid manner. Some of this work will be relevant to COVID-19, but there are other critically important topics that will need attention, as well. Your newest, best work is always welcome

As evidenced by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we share many connections. Long range transport of atmospheric pollutants, global pandemics, and watersheds crossing international borders illustrate our inherent connectivity across spatial scales. Global megatrends, such as demographic transition to cities and the food–energy–water nexus, further remind us of the diverse and complex systems that routinely

The following joint Editorial was originally published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (DOI: 10.1021/jacs.0c04253). The research community faces unprecedented disruption from the global COVID-19 pandemic. Some researchers are beginning to return to lab work after a hiatus, but others continue to work as best as they can from home, including ourselves. The global editorial, support,
