Welcome to Prof Martin Siegert, Field Chief Editor of Frontiers in Environmental Science

Frontiers in Environmental Science is delighted to announce Prof. Martin Siegert as our Field Chief Editor! Martin Siegert is Professor of Geosciences and co-Director of the Grantham Institute, Imperial College London. He was formerly director of the Bristol Glaciology Centre, University of Bristol, and Head of the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. He was educated at Reading University, where he gained his degree in Geological Geophysics, and at Cambridge University, where he was awarded his PhD in the numerical modelling of large ice sheets, at the Scott Polar Research Institute. Siegert’s research interests are in the field of glaciology. He uses geophysical techniques to quantify the flow and form of ice sheets both now and in the past. Using airborne radar he has identified and located ~400 subglacial lakes, has discovered ancient preglacial surfaces hidden beneath the existing ice and has demonstrated how sub-ice water is generated and interacts with the flow of ice above. He leads the UK NERC Lake Ellsworth Consortium, which aims to directly measure and explore an ancient subglacial lake in West Antarctica, to search for life in its water and comprehend records of climate held in sediments. Siegert has appeared regularly on national TV […]

Interview with Specialty Chief Editor Joseph B. Stanford

Interview with Specialty Chief Editor Joseph B. Stanford Joseph B. Stanford is Professor and Director of the Office of Cooperative Reproductive Health, Division of Public Health, Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, and Adjunct Professor in the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine. He has been the principal investigator or co-investigator for five preconception cohort studies, and has served on national scientific advisory committees for the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Professor Stanford is also a Specialty Chief Editor for Frontiers in Public Health for the new section “Population, Reproductive and Sexual Health.” He has a clear and innovative vision of where he plans to take the section that involves crossing traditional boundaries so researchers can share insights. He says one of the things he loves about Public Health “is the confluence of biological, medical, and social sciences inherently needed to address the breadth and depth of the important research questions in the field.” Why did you join Frontiers in Public Health as Specialty Chief Editor? My professional training is in family medicine and public health. I’ve been in the field for over 20 years, working with […]

An inclusive mentorship model for a better science

An interview with Carrie L. Byington, MD founder of the Clinical and Translational Scholars (CATS) mentoring program To many people narrowing the gender gap in science is mostly an issue of equal opportunities for men and women working in research. Others believe instead that it is actually more about giving diverse opportunities to science itself. It is the case of Carrie L. Byington, MD, Professor of Pediatrics, researcher and Co-Director of the Utah Center for Clinical and Translational Science. “Science needs an inclusive environment because we need every idea in order to get the best results,” she said. And this principle is also what drove her to found the innovative mentorship program Clinical and Translational Research Scholars (CATS). She says it was “a program designed to provide support and to launch the faculty careers of clinical and translational scientists.” This includes those who feel like outsiders to the worlds of science and medicine as she herself once did. “Sometimes I felt opportunities were not available to me, perhaps because I am a woman,” she said. Starting from the assumption that a single mentor is not sufficient for an effective training, Dr. Byington set up the program with several layers of […]
