“…APS also works with teachers, students, and parents nationwide through workshops at EB, local and national science fairs, and special events such as the United States of America Science and Engineering Festival (http://www.usasciencefestival.org/). APS has greatly expanded its involvement with college and university undergraduate education, recognizing both the importance of undergraduate research experiences in developing future scientists and the growth nationwide of physiology as an undergraduate major (6). At the undergraduate level, APS seeks to promote both excellence in physiology education and interest in physiology careers.…”

The Experimental Biology 2012 meeting in San Diego, CA, included events to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the American Physiological Society (APS) and reflect on the recent accomplishments of the society. Most of the APS activities in the past quarter century were guided by a series of strategic plans. Membership in the APS increased by 76% since 1987, and there are now 8,342 regular members of the society, including an expansion of international members to 26% of APS's membership. The numbers of elected officers and committee members have expanded to accommodate this larger membership. APS Publications changed dramatically during this time, having adopted online submission and review of manuscripts as well as a streamlined review and publications process that have significantly shortened the period from submission to acceptance to publication. Compared with 1987, the number of manuscripts submitted has increased by 80% and the number of printed pages increased by 52%. In addition to the refinement of the Experimental Biology meeting (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology meeting before 1993) format, APS launched a specialty conference program in the 1990s. The educational offerings of APS also dramatically expanded in the past 25 yr, often supported by external grants and contracts. APS education programs now support physiology education and science awareness at K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels as well as continuing education of its members. The founding of APS was tied to the need for effective advocacy, and APS continues to meet those goals through its Science Policy Committee and Animal Care and Experimentation Committees. At its 125th birthday, APS continues to serve the discipline and the needs of its membership.

I had the honor of assuming a new role of Editor-in-Chief for Advances in Physiology Education. Advances is a reputable peer-reviewed journal that is always free online and is respected globally. I see Advances as being THE journal to publish articles written by physiology educators related to all that they do in their professional lives. I realize that not all physiology educators are trained as physiologists, and that many physiology educators teach courses/disciplines outside of physiology. I will guide Advances to publish more papers related to the number of other responsibilities that many educators have, such as: advising and mentoring students and other faculty; faculty development; training in evidence-based best practices for teaching and student learning; career development for faculty, students, and early career scientists; grant opportunities to support educational research initiatives; etc.Readers of Advances would like to learn about all areas of scholarship in which educators are involved. I have been an author or coauthor on Staying Current articles (3, 6, 8, 17); How We Teach articles describing new courses or new teaching ideas (11-13, 15); How We Teach articles describing curriculum development ( 14) and institutional outreach programs (4); Meeting Reports (1, 10); grant-related content updates (2); Editorials (2, 5,16,20); an Illumination (18); and an Invited Review for the Best Practices series (9). As the director of INBRE (Institutional Development Award Program Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence), the NIH (National Institutes of Health) infrastructure grant to South Dakota to enhance biomedical research support for faculty and students from predominantly undergraduate institutions, I am pleased that three other INBRE programs have contributed their outcomes papers to Advances (18,20,21).Whereas just this list of manuscripts that I have chosen to publish or encourage publishing in Advances may seem diverse, there are many types of articles that are sought for publication in Advances (https://www.physiology.org/advances/ article-types):
