Statement of interest

As a longtime ASBMB member who served on the ASBMB Council, I am impressed and appreciative of ASBMB’s efforts to support and promote our field. Chief among the jewels in the ASBMB crown are its publications, which are run by scientists for scientists, and I am delighted at the opportunity to help continue the ASBMB’s tradition of excellent publications as modes of scientific communication continue to evolve.
