Jake Yeston, deputy editor with Science Magazine, will give a presentation about how the journal is run.
Abstract:
For over 130 years, Science Magazine has presented a weekly selection of the finest research across the full spectrum of scientific disciplines. Our goal remains to keep scientists well-informed about important developments within and also beyond their own fields of research, and to encourage collaborative thinking. My talk will discuss how the staff at Science engages the research community all over the world to determine which papers to publish, and also how we envision maintaining and enhancing our value to the community in the rapidly evolving publication landscape.
Bio: Jake Yeston joined the staff at Science in 2004, with responsibilities to edit and coordinate reviews for original research submissions in chemistry. Beginning in 2014, he assumed the role of Deputy Editor overseeing all research content in the physical sciences. Prior to arriving at Science, Jake earned an AB in chemistry from Harvard University in 1996, where he worked in Eric Jacobsen's group. He went on to earn a PhD from the University of California-Berkeley in 2001, with a focus at the interface of organometallic chemistry and time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy, working jointly under Bob Bergman and Brad Moore. He conducted postdoctoral research in ultrafast spectroscopy, first at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany on a Humboldt fellowship under Karl Kompa, and then as a National Research Council fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland under Ted Heilweil.
