Next-gen science as told by next-gen journalists

If you feel like you could use a boost of hope for the future, don’t miss the “SN 10: Scientists to Watch” profiles in this issue. For the seventh year, we’re featuring early- and mid-career researchers who are racing to solve big problems and answer big questions. In doing so, they’re creating a dazzling future for science.

Each year, I enjoy learning about the 10 scientists, marveling at how much they have already achieved and also how far they aim to go. And in a stroke of serendipity — and the good planning by our special projects editor Elizabeth Quill — the authors of this year’s profiles are all early- to mid-career science journalists.
