Transformation, communication, and engagement

Abstract

I am delighted to be taking the helm of Trends in Cognitive Sciences (TiCS). Compared with the long traditions of physics, chemistry, or cell biology, cognitive science may seem like a baby-faced newcomer to the scientific discourse. However, I would argue that the cognitive sciences have reached young adulthood – a time of rapid growth, transformation, and discovery that will set the future course of the field. I cannot think of a more exciting time to assume the role of editor at TiCS, the influential and trusted source for many new and groundbreaking ideas in cognitive science.
