The Society of Molecular Biology and Evolution (SMBE) is excited to announce Dr. Maud Tenaillon as a new Editor-in-Chief of Genome Biology and Evolution, starting January 2025. Maud will join Laura A. Katz, Smith College, who continues her term as EIC.  Maud is a Research Director for the CNRS at the Université Paris -Saclay where she studies plant population genomics, with a particular interest in the evolutionary genomics of domestication and the impact of domestication on plant-plant interactions. From 2016 to 2019, she served as a council member for SMBE, where she helped initiate interdisciplinary and regional meetings and addressed gender-related issues. She became an associate editor for GBE starting in 2019, overseeing genome reports for two years. We are very grateful to Adam Eyre-Walker, University of Sussex, who will complete his term at the end of 2024. Adam has been an outstanding leader for the journal, launching a variety of initiatives including special sections, the evaluation of journal inclusiveness, checking data availability, ensuring the journal has an inclusive waiver policy and appointing a social media editor. Working collaboratively with Laura, Adam has also worked hard to diversify the editorial board and expand the scope of the journal.
