How Brexit Is Transforming the UK’s

STEM Community

Scientists face the ramifications of the

country’s departure from the European

Union, from laboratory supply shortages

to difficulties hiring international students

and faculty.

Embryonic Eavesdropping

Recent findings buck the traditional

idea that embryos are passive agents

and instead suggest that by tuning into

vibrations, organisms can better pre-

pare to enter the outside world.

Enhancers: Conserved in Activity,

Not in Sequence

Certain stretches of DNA that

regulate gene expression have evolved

differently from protein-coding genes.

Next year is bringing some exciting changes to The Scientist.

We will continue producing refreshing life science news and

opinions, but we’ll be delivering these stories to you in an interactive

format called the TSDigest. This digital publication will be

published twice a month on the-scientist.com via a dynamic

platform called FlipSnack. And every three months, starting at

the end of March, The Scientist’s best content from the preceding

three months of the TSDigest will be packaged into a beautiful

magazine reminiscent of the periodical that print subscribers have

been perusing for more than 35 years.

We here at The Scientist are looking very much forward to a new

year and a new publication strategy, and we’re excited for you to

come along on the journey!
