Editor’s Note

Abstract

It’s harder than one might think, writing your first Editor’s note for a storied publication. There are so many things to mention, and so many clichés to avoid. Take the “Here’s what to expect in this issue” approach, and an Editor might feel they’d taken the easy way out; expend words on personal philosophies, and hazard alienating readers from the outset. Compromise and offer a bit of both? —Well, that would be too obvious. Besides, someone will, eventually, ask: Writing, eh? Is that still a thing?

This issue of RBM, hyperbole aside, marks the start of a new era. I am grateful and honored to follow Dr. Richard Saunders, Dr. Jennifer Sheehan, and esteemed editors and editorial boards that established RBM as a noteworthy journal.
