t is a privilege to welcome Vincent Rotello as the new Editorin-Chief of Bioconjugate Chemistry. Vince has an outstanding record in the biological applications of nanoparticles, and we look forward to his taking the journal in new directions. As we close our tenure, the authors of manuscripts submitted to the journal are uppermost in memory. The science of bioconjugate chemistry attracts people who are motivated to solve complex practical problems, and working with them has always been interesting. The published results are just the tip of the iceberg, as many authors, editors, and reviewers will agree. We are proud of the body of work communicated by the journal, and grateful to its authors for the effort required. It is extremely important to honor the longstanding contributions of Senior Editors Paul Miller and Peter Senter and Associate Editors Ferenc Hudecz and Masayuki Yokoyama in making Bioconjugate Chemistry what it is today. It is difficult to imagine the journal without their involvement. Ann Meares, the Journal Office Administrator, has always been the central person who sorted through a mountain of words and deadlines and kept us all—editors, authors, and reviewers—on track. Likewise, the ACS staff members responsible for the composition and production of the journal and for helping authors submit their manuscripts have been so reliable that those outside the process may not realize how essential their daily contributions are. We offer heartfelt thanks, and we will miss working with them all. Samuel Achilefu Bharat B. Aggarwal Walter J. Akers Kazunari Akiyoshi Fernando Albericio Daniel G.
