Tributes to pioneers in bioenergetics - wandering in the garden of memories

Last update: 2024-05-07

The community of bioenergetics regrets the loss of pioneers in bioenergetics. Most recently Marten Wickström, Sergio Papa, Stuart Ferguson.

Renowned scientists pay ‘Tributes to pioneers in bioenergetics': In contrast to Special Issues with a closure date, the BEC Publication Series (Gold Open Access) will continue to invite authors to contribute with their manuscript to the 'garden of memories' – Living Communications. This series is intended to be educational and provide insights into the minds and lives of pioneers in bioenergetics. Scientists and students should be alert of intellectual and experimental past developments that shape our ways of thinking. Tributes to pioneers in bioenergetics will provide a fresh look at concepts in a state of flow rather than fixed paradigms, which tend to be distorted when disregarded without 'wandering in the garden of memories'.

Who qualifies as 'pioneer'? The current list reflects bias in scientific history: lack of compensation for unequal gender opportunities, science networks centered on Europe and North America. Should 'Tributes to pioneers' be restricted to recognition after death? How do we define the field of bioenergetics? Bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts are center stage, thus energy transformation by bioblasts is the core of bioenergetics. Support us by paying a tribute to your pioneers in bioenergetics, to properly expand the recognition of pioneers and their vital contributions to science and humanity.

Dear authors

See BEC author guidelines
Please submit a short summary on pioneers in bioenergetics (max. 250 words), which may be different from the summary of your manuscript.
Manuscripts will be processed, peer reviewed, and published on a rolling basis.
Multiple manuscripts are welcome paying a tribute to a particular pioneer.
Please suggest authors who should be contacted for additional contributions to the BEC Series.

With many thanks for your interest and contributions,

Erich Gnaiger
