Our silver anniversary issue celebrates a quarter century of covering major advances in the life sciences—some in fields that didn’t even exist when we first went to press—and looks ahead to future research milestones.
October 1, 2011
In this anniversary issue:
An editorial by The Scientist founder Eugene Garfield
Features on neuroscience, omics, nanomedicine, synthetic biology, biodiversity, and science funding
Essays from Walter Bodmer, George Church, Stephen Friend, Eric Kandel, Thomas Lovejoy, Chad Mirkin, J. Craig Venter, Edward O. Wilson, Mary Woolley
A look back at our inaugural issue
Lab Tools on three game-changing genetic technologies
Bio Business on adapting new tech apps to research
By Walter F. Bodmer
In celebration of major conceptual advances in biology and the revolutions just over the horizon
Read about beginnings of neuroscience through the eyes of Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel, and how researchers today envision the future of the field.
Early sequencing evolved into the publication of genomes for myriad species, including our own, within the span of two and a half decades. Bioinformatician Stephen Friend opines on what’s in store as the next quarter century of omics takes shape.
