This is the latest of an ongoing series of interviews with people involved with our new Open Access journal, Experimental Results – a forum for short research papers from experimental disciplines across Science, Technology and Medicine, providing authors with an outlet for rapid publication of small chunks of research findings with maximum visibility.

Can you tell us a bit about your background, and what your current research is focused on?
My background and training are in behavioral neuroscience and behavioral pharmacology. Much of my research has focused on training students and addressing research questions involving physiological stress responses.

What has been your biggest challenge/greatest achievement in your career so far?
Some of the greatest achievements so far have included seeing former students pursue their own interests and create successful professional careers.

Why did you decide to become a Reviewing Editor?
I wanted to become a reviewing editor because it is a new professional role for me and provides an opportunity to learn more about the process of publishing peer-reviewed research. I am also looking forward to meeting new researchers and colleagues.

How will Experimental Results benefit your research field?
Experimental Results will benefit research in psychology by providing an opportunity to share and discuss all types of research results, including null results. With increasing interest on replication and the importance of sharing null results, this is a great contribution to the field.

What excites you about Experimental Results?
For research in general, I’m excited to help in the process of publishing important pieces of work that might not otherwise be available to people. I’m personally excited to work with professionals from a variety of backgrounds and areas of interest in psychology and psychiatry.
