Blair has accepted the position of co-editor of Journal Soil and Tillage Research, next to his research position at the James Hutton Institute.
Blair about becoming co-editor: "I hope that adding the co-editorship Soil & Tillage Research to my role in ISTRO can work for the good of both parties. I have always believed that the strong link with Soil & Tillage Research was one of the scientific strengths of ISTRO. The combination of a research organisation and a scientific journal is something that is not common and delivers important synergy. Along with the other editors of Soil & Tillage Research, I will be looking to the ISTRO community to continue to contribute to this link by responding positively to invitations to conduct reviews for the journal whenever possible. If anyone wants to contact me on this or anything to do with ISTRO, you are always welcome."
