At this sad time all of us have reflected on all that Prof. Ajit Padhy, the founding editor of this Journal, has done for us. In his years in India, at the IAEA and in Singapore he touched so many lives. He had an amazing impact on many of us who were privileged to know him and I am sure his influence and enthusiasm will live on in those of us who consider him a "guru".
In one of his last editorials for the World Journal of Nuclear Medicine he posed the question of all of us "When did you last do something for the first time". [1] When I read this I thought of plans we had for starting Lu-177 DOTATATE therapy in my department which we have since started or looking at PET imaging in dementia which we have not yet started. What I did not expect was that I would be writing this editorial for this Journal.
In many ways Ajit is irreplaceable but those of us who knew him should continue to work with his legacy and though it may take many of us to do all the work Ajit mastered so well it has fallen to me to edit the World Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
Therefore, I ask your patience as I learn the procedures involved and start to work through the back log of 100 papers that need to be reviewed and collated but this work must be done and I will do this for the very 1 st time.
We are looking at ways we can honour Ajit the scientist and there will be more about that in the next issue of this journal.
