Transitions in the Journal Display
The front covers (and contents!) of science news magazines are intriguing any time of year, but especially when transitioning from one year to the next.
Editors, artists, and photojournalists put together issues that highlight the biggest stories of the year, celebrate achievements and forecast the next big breakthrough, and tantalize with headlines that suggest findings to delight the most curious reader.

Just three headlines on this issue of Science News hint at the wide range of topics covered in every issue: hope in the pandemic; shrinking birds; finger snap physics (say what?).
A new year often inspires us to focus on a healthy diet, and New Scientist picks up on that by explaining that a “self-indulgent mindset is key to diet success.” Sounds promising!
Science, the highly-respected, "premier global science weekly” from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is fully accessible online, in a very satisfying format for web-based browsing.
The print issue offers the convenience of a quick scan of the contents, enormously useful summaries of research articles, relevant and timely news, and a wonderful break from staring at your computer or internet-capable device for hours at a time! Pick up an issue and take a meaningful break from studying for finals. Good luck with those, too!
