End of year recap DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT. Did i mention draft?


I also worry about the broader implications: education gaps, licensing concerns, and the disproportionate impact on underrepresented groups that GenAI brings to scientific software development.

We're actively developing policy around Generative AI use in packages submitted for review—addressing licensing concerns, disclosure requirements, and ensuring code quality standards. There are no clear answers yet, but we're learning together, one careful policy conversation at a time.

this needs more - mention eliot's role and contributions -- the eic's that have supported this work. and the editors htat have stepped up when other editors needed to mentally take a break...


Our 2025 executive council—[Karen Cranston](https://github.com/kcranston) and [April Johnson](https://www.apriljohnson.io/about-me/)—encouraged me to embrace sustainable leadership. They supported me as I navigated the challenges of the year, and as I said no to things to ensure my focus was aligned, and in developing new programs to support our sustainability, providing critical guidance on organizational challenges and strategic decisions. This led to concrete outcomes: new training pilots, diversified sustainability models, and healthier leadership practices.

Our editors-in-chief—[James Balamuta](https://github.com/coatless), [Eliot Robson](https://github.com/erobson), and [Lauren Yee](https://github.com/laurenyee)—led the peer review process throughout the year. They navigated the uptick in AI-fueled submissions, stepped up when reviews got challenging, and kept quality standards high.
