Announcement

Neurobiologist James L. Olds Named 10th Editor of The Biological Bulletin

After a search led by John Dowling, the President of the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Corporation, the MBL is pleased to announce that James L. Olds has been appointed editor-in-chief of The Biological Bulletin, effective January 1, 2005. Olds will be the 10th editor of the journal, succeeding Michael J. Greenberg of the University of Florida’s Whitney Laboratory, who has worked tirelessly on behalf of the journal for 15 years. Olds is the director of the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and has had close MBL ties since 1978. He will serve a five-year, renewable term at the Bulletin.

"Dr. Olds brings a wealth of experience in administration, scientific research, and publishing to his editorship," says William T. Speck, MBL director and CEO. "He will follow in the footsteps of one of the journal’s most visionary and skilled editors, Mike Greenberg, to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude."

After graduating from Amherst College and obtaining his Ph.D. in neurosciences from the University of Michigan, Olds served as a staff fellow, project officer, and later senior staff fellow at the NINDS/NIH. He was Executive Director of the American Association of Anatomists from 1995 to 1998, where he oversaw the management of that society’s journal, The Anatomical Record. He was appointed director of the Krasnow Institute in 1998.

Olds’s long association with the MBL began after college, when he participated in the "Year in Science Program." He was elected to the MBL Corporation in 1991 and served on a special editorial board of the Bulletin in 1992. He was also a member of the MBL’s computer advisory committee from 1991 through 2002.

An expert in the role nerve cells, or neurons, play in learning and memory, Olds’s research is directed toward understanding and simulating the machinery that permits neurons and neuronal assemblies to store and recall memories, both under normal and diseased conditions. He uses cutting-edge computerized equipment to image and simulate the cells and aims to eventually develop techniques that will reveal the three-dimensional structure and maps of memory function in both animal and human brains in near real-time.

"I am delighted to be taking the helm of this wonderful journal at this time in its long history," says Olds. "I am most grateful to Mike Greenberg for his mentorship, his incredible dedication to quality science, and for leaving the MBL’s flagship journal in such great shape. I am pleased that Mike has agreed to continue on with the Bulletin as a valued member of the editorial board."

Authors may now submit their papers to Dr. Olds, in care of the Editorial Office in Woods Hole.
