Donald Kennedy

As I write, I have just a week or so left as Editor-in-Chief of Science. It is one of those mixed-emotions moments. I'm leaving some wonderful colleagues, which is painful, but on the other hand, my friend Bruce Alberts gets the opportunity to work with them.

So Science and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) are the beneficiaries of a fine appointment. A profile of Bruce (p. 1199) explains why we are in such good hands.
