Announcements

We are pleased to announce that the 2024 Tu Youyou Award has been conferred upon Richard DiMarchi and Rolf Müller, in recognition of their significant contributions to natural products chemistry and medicinal chemistry.

Richard DiMarchi Indiana University, USA	Prof. Richard DiMarchi is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Gill Chair in Biomolecular Sciences at Indiana University, USA. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. Dr. DiMarchi is a former Group Vice President at Eli Lilly and later at Novo Nordisk. He is recognized for his contributions to the discovery and development of rDNA-derived Humulin®, Humalog®, rGlucagon®, and Forteo®. His academic research has broadened the understanding of glucagon and incretin physiology and pioneered the discovery of single-molecule multi-mechanism agonists for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. The central element to success has been the chemical vision and technology to install within single molecules simultaneous agonism at related G-protein coupled receptors, coupled to the counter-intuitive discovery that glucagon and GIP agonism could synergize the therapeutic efficacy of GLP-1. These peptides and their conceptual approach have transformed the management of excessive body weight to a condition comparable to how hypertension, adult-onset diabetes, and excess cholesterol are medicinally managed.
“Professor DiMarchi was recognized by the 2024 Tu Youyou Award Committee members as being an exceptional leader in the medicinal chemistry of peptides and proteins of natural origin, and as a pioneer in the field of chemical biotechnology. His very important discoveries have led to breakthroughs in new drugs related to the therapy of diabetes and obesity. He has been named as an inventor on a very large number of patents, and he has had initially a highly successful scientific and administrative career in industry, which was followed by over two decades in academia as a distinguished professor.” —Prof. Dr. A. Douglas Kinghorn, Chair of the Award Committee
Rolf Müller Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS), Germany; Helmholtz Centre for Infections Research (HZI), Germany; Saarland University, Germany	Prof. Rolf Müller is the Founding and Managing Director of the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) and Professor of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology at Saarland University, Germany. Having received his training from the University of Bonn, he held research positions at the University of Washington, USA, and Braunschweig University of Technology, Germany, prior to his appointment as professor to Saarland University. His laboratory has dedicated itself to the exploration of bacterial natural-product biosynthetic pathways for more than 20 years and has extensive experience in working with myxobacteria and other microbial producer strains. Starting from the isolation and characterization of new microorganisms, the scope of work includes microbiology-, biotechnology-, bioinformatics-, and chemistry-based approaches to exploit these isolates as sources of new drugs with a special focus on novel anti-infectives. Müller and his team apply a variety of state-of-the-art analytical methods and biological assays to perform biological and chemical characterizations of the identified compounds.

The following is a short interview with Dr. George K. Rogers:

1. Can you introduce yourself and give an overview of your current research?
My name is George Rogers, a retired plant scientist from Palm Beach State College in Florida. My current research has two separate directions. Primarily, I’m engaged in relating xylem anatomical traits to South Florida environmental parameters. Additionally, I’m studying the floristic ecology of a crowded population of gopher tortoises in a disturbed urban forest remnant near my home, looking into the broad question of the system’s sustainability.

2. Do you have any suggestions regarding our award?
The award is such an enjoyable surprise, and I can’t think of any improvement. Although not applicable to me personally, some recipients certainly may wish to apply it to tenure consideration or other aspects of career advancement.

3. What led you to review for Forests? How did you hear about it?
I’ve been reviewing for Forests for multiple years. Prior to reviewing, I consulted articles in Forests; then came a review request. Ever since, I’ve enjoyed lending a hand with Forests, as I find the articles to be high-quality quality eye-opening, and informative. I find the journal to be well managed with a pleasant and proper review process.

4. Was it important to you that the journal be open access?
Without open access, research and curriculum development are limited to faculty at large institutions with comprehensive libraries. Even the Internet does not solve the access problem for researchers with limited resources, given the prevalence of paywalls and paid subscription services. Open access creates a worldwide publication ecosystem across the geographic and socioeconomic spectrum. As a retired academic, I’m one personal example of the benefits of open access, not only by means of enhanced research availability but even more importantly, by plant science research worldwide that never would have even existed without open access.

Name: Dr. Kelly Cristina Tonello
Affiliation: Campus Sorocaba—SP, Rod João Leme dos Santos, Federal University of São Carlos, km 110—SP-264 Bairro do Itinga-Sorocaba, Sorocaba 18052-780, Brazil

The following is a short interview with Dr. Kelly Cristina Tonello:

1. Can you introduce yourself and give an overview of your current research?
I am a forest engineer and a professor specializing in forest hydrology, watershed management, and ecosystem services. My current research focuses on the ecohydrology of cloud forests—highly vulnerable ecosystems profoundly affected by climate change. By examining how these forests regulate water flows, store carbon, and sustain biodiversity, I aim to develop science-based strategies that maintain both their ecological integrity and the crucial services they provide. Through fieldwork and data-driven analysis, I am working to better understand how climate shifts impact water cycles within these unique, high-altitude forests, ultimately informing more effective conservation and management approaches.

2. Do you have any suggestions regarding our award?
I believe the Forests Outstanding Reviewer Awards do an excellent job of acknowledging and motivating meticulous peer review. A possible improvement might be to introduce a mentorship element, where experienced reviewers could offer guidance to emerging researchers who want to refine their reviewing skills. This could bolster the quality of feedback across the journal and strengthen the community of dedicated reviewers.

3. What led you to publish in Forests? How did you hear about it?
I learned about Forests through professional colleagues who commended its broad scope and rigorous peer-review standards. After reviewing several articles related to ecohydrology and forest management in the journal, I found Forests to be a fitting outlet for my research. Its commitment to publishing multidisciplinary studies across a wide array of forestry topics was particularly appealing.

4. Was it important to you that the journal be open access?
Yes, open access is extremely important, particularly for environmental and forestry research, where findings can inform policy, guide land management, and influence community-level decisions. Having research accessible to stakeholders—ranging from fellow scientists to local communities and policymakers—ensures that new insights and best practices can be widely shared and implemented, ultimately leading to more effective conservation and resource management.

The International Day of Forests, observed annually on 21 March, highlights the indispensable role forests play in sustaining life on Earth. Forests are pillars of global food security and nutrition, providing livelihoods for millions of families worldwide. They are a vital source of essential foods for indigenous and rural communities, offering fruits, nuts, and other resources that are integral to their diets and cultures. Beyond food, forests are a cornerstone of sustainable energy, agriculture, and environmental health. They support pollinators, enrich soil, regulate the climate, and conserve biodiversity, making them critical to the balance of our planet's ecosystems. 

However, deforestation, climate change, and unsustainable practices threaten forests and the countless benefits they provide. In alignment with the 2025 theme for International Day of Forests, “Forests and Food” and Goal 13 of the SDG Publishers Compact: Climate Action,  MDPI’s established journals in Section “Environmental and Earth Sciences” serve as vital platforms for scientific communication to recognize the urgent need to protect and restore these natural treasures. 

Join us in celebrating International Day of Forests and supporting initiatives that protect these vital ecosystems. Together, we can work toward a future where forests continue to nourish and sustain life for generations to come.
