IntroductionDear Readers,Last July, I read this memo to the staff and explained why I had made the difficult decision to move on from my role as Quanta’s editor-in-chief. This magazine has meant everything to me since I pitched the concept to the Simons Foundation in 2012. Building, growing, nurturing and leading the publication and staff — and being a part of what we’ve collectively accomplished — has been the most remarkable and rewarding experience of my career.
