His vision and commitment—from launching the journal to guiding its evolution—have left a lasting impact on the field. We are deeply grateful for his many years of service and outstanding contributions. From the earliest days of the journal during the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, serving as the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of Biophysics Reviews has been the most important professional development exercise of my career as a professor. The challenges of implementing a long-form review journal at the interface of physics, biology, engineering, and medicine have been offset by the fantastic corp of editors who joined me in the effort. I am grateful to them and the authors for setting the foundation for a journal that serves our field. In this next chapter of Biophysics Reviews, in an ever-changing scientific publishing landscape, I hope for new ideas and formats to better serve the biophysical community. - Kit Parker  Harvard University, USA Dr. Parker's many accomplishments as Editor-in-Chief include: Broadening the biophysics community by recognizing biophysics as both a pure and applied field An extensive list of long-form reviews in the cardiovascular field that cover patient care, basic cardiovascular experiments, and both experimental and modeling Developing new publishing formats to include short reports and visuals that are more amenable to the fast pace of the field Special Topic issues across a broad spectrum of specialty niches Building an international team of editors from industry and academia Dr. Parker, we extend our heartfelt thanks again for your dedication and leadership.
