I am delighted to be leading the development of the journal as Editor-in-Chief for Youth STEM Matters. With so many young people using STEM to change the landscape of the planet, our journal provides these young scientists the opportunity to showcase their work to the public and allow them to engage in a discussion within the research community. I am looking forward to working with the team and authors to produce high-quality articles and more importantly shape the next generation of scientists!
