CS Biomaterials Science & Engineering is proud to introduce our inaugural Early Career Board. With this initiative, we aim to provide young investigators with guidance and insight into the editorial process as they pursue their independent research careers. Over the course of a three-year term, we will foster professional mentoring relationships between our established Editorial Advisory Board members and Editors and the “in-training” Early Career Board. Through these mentorships, and by offering hands-on opportunities to participate in journal activities, we hope to prepare our board members for advanced editorial appointments. We believe this skillset is critical to career success in today’s science and engineering landscape, from industry to government to academic paths. In turn, the journal values the insights our new board members bring in identifying emerging areas of interest to our readers, as supported by their rising star status in their respective scientific disciplines. Thus, our new team members are also encouraged to identify new and emerging trends to help with organizing perspectives, reviews, or special issues for the journal. Although our primary goal is to provide our readership with first-rate peer-reviewed published content, we also aim to serve and strengthen the biomaterials science and engineering community by encouraging our board to build connections across fields and generations. The 28 members chosen for the inaugural board were selected from a large pool of highly competitive applicants in response to a call for nominations that was published earlier in the year. They represent a diverse array of subfields within biomaterials research and engineering. With individual expertise in areas such as biomechanics, polymer chemistry, multiscale modeling, regenerative medicine, toxicology, biofabrication, and other interdisciplinary areas, we believe this group is perfectly suited to survey and support the broad scope of ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering. The board comprises both new junior faculty and postdoctoral or research fellows, hailing from institutions around the globe. We have included a list of the new members in this Editorial. Furthermore, we plan to assemble a special issue highlighting their original, peer-reviewed research. We look forward to supporting and showcasing the fresh perspectives offered by the next generation of leaders in biomaterials science and engineering research. Please join us in congratulating these exceptional new members of the ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering team! • Abigail S.
