The board of directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) announced yesterday that Bruce Alberts will take over as editor-in-chief of
Science magazine, effective March 1, 2008 [

Alberts will retain his UCSF faculty position and expects to devote half of his time to Science. "I view Science magazine as a critical venue for maintaining the standards of science, as well as for spreading an understanding and appreciation for science around the world," says Alberts. "With the tremendous challenges we face today, both of these important aims need constant attention."
As many of you know, Bruce is interested in science education and this is a marvelous opportunity for him to improve the quality of science journalism [

Science.
