Abstract:

Renowned scientists are invited to contribute to the BEC Series on Tributes to pioneers in bioenergetics. Scientists and students should be alert to the intellectual and experimental legacies that shape our contemporary ways of thinking. Tributes to pioneers in bioenergetics offer a fresh perspective on concepts in a state of flux, contrasting with fixed paradigms that often distort when ignored. Unlike traditional Special Issues with finite closure dates, the BEC Series extends a perpetual invitation for authors to contribute their manuscripts to the 'garden of memories' – Living Communications. This unique series serves as an enduring educational resource, offering profound insights into the minds and lives of bioenergetics pioneers. Thus, wandering in the garden of memories becomes an essential journey for all who seek to navigate the ever-changing landscape of scientific discovery.

Tributes to pioneers in bioenergetics

- wandering in the garden of memories

BEC Series Editors: Angelo Azzi, Erich Gnaiger

Meandering down diverse paths by different persons has the potential to weave together an unparalleled tapestry of memories, forming a mosaic of anecdotes, narratives, and phrases that enrich the overarching story and infuse it with a deeply human essence.

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. How do we define the field of bioenergetics? Bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts - 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,

Angelo Azzi, Erich Gnaiger
