“…Julian has literally grown up in the AAA, winning a host of awards as a student and even serving on our Board of Directors. He is a super proud, Maple‐leaf‐flag waving Canadian, and has had the entire AR Board meet in Vancouver, trek to the incomparable wilderness of Whistler, and then sail around Vancouver, making friends with orcas (JL got sea‐sick as our former Editor‐in‐Chief, Kurt Albertine and other AR Board members gleefully took photos, all—save JL—while listening to eloquent Canadian AAA legend, Wayne Vogl, spout on about whales; Albertine et al, 2017; Vogl, 2017) Julian has contributed much to the well‐being of our journal and, as this issue goes to press, we give him a big Canadian hug as he leaves us to take the reins as Editor‐in‐Chief of our Wiley sister journal, Cytoskeleton . May your protein filaments always be strong, as we wish you adieu !…”
