Looking ahead, looking back.

The first editorial of the year is generally an invitation to look forward. Often, we announce new initiatives at the Science family of journals or changes to our policies. This year, I want to look forward in a different way-by looking back. Science has a history that includes shame in addition to accomplishment. In 2021, we began to explore and acknowledge some of that regretful past, and we'll continue this examination in 2022.
