Personnel changes at JAMPDD e Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery delivers innovative, authoritative coverage of the health effects of inhaled aerosols and delivery of drugs through the pulmonary system. e peer-reviewed jour- nal offers a forum for leading experts, addressing novel topics such as aerosolized chemotherapy, aerosolized vaccines, methods to determine toxicities and delivery of aerosolized drugs in the intu- bated patient. e ISAM board welcomes omas G. O'Riordan, Vice Pres- ident, US Medical and erapy Head for Respiratory at GSK as the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery. e board would also like to rec- ognize the critical contributions and accomplishments of Ger- ald Smaldone, who has served as Editor of the Journal of Aero- sol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery since its founding more than 30 years ago. During all of those years, Gerald was an ex- officio member of the board, assisting with all historic and other information. We also thank Timo- thy E. Corcoran for his important contributions as Associate Editor and ex-officio member for many years and we welcome Carsten via Zoom calls. Since there are board members from all over the world, (e.g., from San Diego to Boston to Munich to Sydney), it has been difficult to find an opti- mal time for all members. In fact, some of us join the meeting with an early morning coffee while oth- ers are already enjoying an after- work beer! ISAM website ISAM has updated its web- site, which can now be found at https://isam.org. With this upgrade, ISAM has succeeded in building a website that promotes the scientific society and estab- lishes a strong connection to its members, partner companies and sponsors. e website team and the board have worked extremely hard to create a modern, clean and uncluttered website with improved functionality, clear nav- igation links and an excellent new member area that offers many dif- ferent ways to interact. A special thanks goes to board member Ber- nhard Müllinger, who spent many days creating a clear website design and transferring content from the old website. e website includes a completely new interactive platform that allows members to connect and communicate with other members in network groups, and to receive and exchange the latest news and data in aerosol medicine and sci- ence. In addition, a new publi- cation platform is available to all members to share publications, congress presentations, posters and webinars-on-demand via the ISAM publication subpage.
