This is the last issue of JBIC from the Chief Editor’s Office in Minnesota. As CE for 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with the best scientists in our field to make available the results of their valuable and sometimes crucial results. It has been a happy and satisfying journey, and it is with great confidence that we now turn the office over to Prof. Dr. Nils Metzler-Nolte, your new Chief Editor. We convey our very best wishes for the future.

From myself, my Associate Editors, and my Editorial Assistant Deborah Schoenholz, we send a heartfelt good-bye.
