I'm pleased to announce that a new journal, Studies in Ethics, Law, and Technology, has published its first issue online at the Berkeley Electronic Press. The editors-in-chief are Anthony Mark Cutter of the University of Central Lancashire and Bert Gordijn of Radboud University. The first issue concerns human enhancement, a particularly timely subject in the United States given the release of the much-discussed Mitchell Report on performancing-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball.

40% of your article authors are women, but 0% of the editorial board are women, to judge by the names. That's quite a message.
