Joanna Aldred

      It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our cherished colleague, Joanna Aldred. Joanna was an incredible lady whose kindness, willingness to help others, and unwavering support left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She was not just a colleague but a beloved friend who dedicated over 34 years to Elsevier in academic publishing.
      Joanna’s journey began in the Earth Sciences department as a Desk Editor during a time when our industry was on the brink of transformation. As the digital revolution unfolded, she embraced change and grew into the role of Journal Manager, always eager to learn and adapt. Her career took a significant turn in 2006 with a six-month secondment in Publishing, and from that moment on, she became an integral part of STMJ team.
      For many years, Joanna was a driving force behind the Current Opinion journals in Green and Sustainable Chemistry. Her extensive knowledge, dedication, and collaborative spirit made her a cornerstone of our team.
      Beyond her professional achievements, Joanna was also deeply involved in the RELX SDG Resource Centre and served as a compassionate listener for Mindlife. Her gentle demeanor, customer-centric approach, and exceptional problem-solving skills have left a lasting impact on everyone she worked with. We will profoundly miss her wisdom, warmth, and the generosity she brought into our lives.
      Joanna was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Our hearts go out to her sons, Alexander and Eduard, her daughter-in-law, Demi, her grandson Evan, and her wider family. We also extend our condolences to her Current Opinion colleagues, her Journal Development and Editor Engagement Center of Expertise colleagues, and the Flex team, all of whom have lost a long-standing and valued member of their teams. Joanna was always willing to share her vast knowledge and expertise, and her absence will be felt deeply.

        I was saddened to learn of Joanna's passing. We worked together when I was the Digests Editor for BMCL and she was the content development manager. To her family and close friends, my sincere condolences on the loss of someone very special.
        Our relationship began in 2011 and continued after her promotion to a role with another journal. She was courteous, efficient and broadly skilled and she helped me greatly to develop the skills I needed as a new Editor. She was also a conscientious wife and mother who looked forward to times with her family. Although she was a very private person I remember her sharing her concerns and love for them. I have photos of her somewhere but right now all I have are the memories in my mind and heart. My files include ~5000 messages in which she is included in some way. Joanna may you rest in Peace your friend Peter Bernstein

        I feel very sorry to know the sudden passing of Joanna. She was always being kind to me. I used to work with her in two different roles and was expecting to work with her again in the near future. This is so sad and I already started missing her. I also heard from her past mangers that they gave a great recognition to her. I'm sure they will miss her as well. I'm sending all my love and support to her family. Hope you could be strong during this hard time.

        Dear family of Joanna,
        I had the honour of being in the MindLife group with Joanna - a group that focuses on the well being of our colleagues through offering inspiration, kindness, compassion and support to our colleagues world wide. Joanna had a gentle presence in our group, and she often brought new ideas on how to give colleagues a true sense of inclusion, and belonging. It was obvious that she cared deeply for others. Joanna served as a compassionate listener for the MindLife group - to listen and be kind when colleagues are in need. She will be missed.
        Our sincerest condolences to her family and loved ones. Wishing you strength in your time of grief.
        Kind regards,
