Abstract
The advent of the new millennium prompted various discussions of the future of academic disciplines, including epidemiology and other public health sciences.1–5 We missed this opportunity to make prognostications, but have chosen this first issue of 2001 for our initial editorial comment since, having succeeded Professor Peter Pharoah as editors of the International Journal of Epidemiology, this is the first issue which exclusively contains material which we have processed from the Bristol, UK, office. Of course Peter's remarkable record as editor of the IJE is difficult to follow, a fact reflected in the need for two of us to attempt to complete the tasks so admirably carried out by Peter alone.
