The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Miriam Segura, PhD, as the next Editor-In-Chief of its education journal—CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE) —beginning August 1, 2025. LSE has become the pioneering and leading journal in life sciences education research since its launch 20 years ago.
Dr. Segura is a Professor of Biology and Harry B. Forester Eminent Scholars Chair at the University of North Georgia, and currently serves as President of the Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER). She brings a visionary growth plan aimed at enhancing accessibility and increasing submissions from diverse groups in biology education. Her proposal includes broadening manuscript types, introducing new journal sections, and continuing special thematic topics. With an extensive track record in biology education research, editorial experience, and a deep commitment to the education community, Dr. Segura is well-positioned to lead LSE into its next chapter.
“As the premier publication for biology education research, LSE is committed to advancing the creation and dissemination of new knowledge across diverse educational settings, with the goal of improving science pedagogy. It is both an honor and a privilege to lead the journal into its next chapter—addressing current challenges while promoting pedagogical innovation on a global scale,” says Dr. Miriam Segura. “Working closely with the Editorial Board and the broader education community, my priority is to build on LSE’s legacy of excellence to further elevate its impact and visibility.”
CBE—Life Sciences Education (LSE), an online journal, is owned and published by ASCB. LSE is written by and to serve professionals engaged in biology teaching in all environments, including faculty at large research universities who teach but do not view teaching as their primary mission, as well as those whose teaching is the major focus of their careers, in primarily undergraduate institutions, museums and outreach programs, junior and community colleges, and K–12 schools.
