“This is my final issue as Editor-in-Chief of JSPG, and I couldn’t be prouder that my tenure ends with such a strong and diverse collection of articles. In this issue, our authors explore some of the most challenging questions in science policy today, fulfilling an important mission for scientists to contribute their expertise to support the public. I’m especially grateful to our amazing editorial team, who helped our authors refine their arguments in these 12 excellent publications,” said Andy Sanchez, JSPG Editor-in-Chief.

The winter standard issue of the journal explores urgent science policy challenges across climate resilience, digital infrastructure, public health, and national competitiveness. Articles address topics such as mitigating the environmental impact of Georgia’s booming data center industry, enhancing tobacco and e-cigarette regulation globally, and state-level strategies for semiconductor reshoring in Arizona under the CHIPS Act. Together, the pieces provide forward-looking policy recommendations grounded in equity, innovation, and sustainability.

“In these demanding times when science and public policy intersect with urgent issues from climate change and AI regulation to health equity and sustainable technology, we are proud to publish this collection of articles, featuring thoughtful research and policy recommendations from a wide range of scholars and practitioners. As we navigate an increasingly complex world, these contributions remind us that science-informed, research-driven policy solutions can create meaningful change and build a more equitable and sustainable future for all. I would especially like to congratulate our outgoing Editor-in-Chief, Andy Sanchez, for his courageous, collaborative, and generous leadership over the past five years, raising this organization of ours to new heights,” said Julianne McCall, JSPG CEO & Managing Publisher. ​
