SSE and the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB) are pleased to welcome Dr. Melinda Modrell, who is stepping into the new role of in-house Managing Editor [1] for Evolution [2] and Evolution Letters [3].

Dr. Modrell is based at the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid, Spain. She earned her Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from UC Berkeley and completed postdocs at the University of Cambridge. She has been working as a self-employed editor and consultant since 2016, providing science and language editing services to primarily non-native English speakers. Dr. Modrell will work closely with the editors of Evolution and Evolution Letters and the staff at Oxford University Press to help our societies continue publishing leading research from our evolutionary biology community.

Evolution is the flagship journal of the Society for the Study of Evolution. Evolution Letters is an Open Access journal jointly owned by ESEB and SSE. Starting in January 2023, both journals will be published by Oxford University Press. Learn more about this transition here [4].
