EDITORIAL

EDITOR’S NOTE

In building our refocused editorial strategy, we have relied heavily on our readers’ recommendations and guidance. With this feedback in mind, we have exciting plans to increase the number of feature stories we run in each print issue and online, expand our conference coverage, introduce new columns, and present the topics of utmost interest to our readers in a relatable, relevant, and engaging way. 

We also have several exciting new developments for our online programs. In support of reader desires to stay up to date on the latest advances and discoveries in the life sciences while also productively working their way through long to-do lists, we introduced the TS Digest in July 2023 and will publish new issues monthly going forward. This new publication focuses on presenting fun, bite-sized content such as flash nonfiction, miniature podcasts, videos, infographics, puzzles, interviews, and surprising columns such as “Just Curious” and “Epic Fail” that come directly from our readers’ questions and experiences. You can peruse the mobile-friendly TS Digest while waiting for a gel to run, a meeting to start, a quick centrifuge spin to finish, or any other time when you have only a few free minutes. 

In addition, we proudly launched our new journal club this summer, which presents research published by our readers in an online interactive webinar format.

In January 2024, we will launch a new newsletter program that is uniquely tailored to our readers interests. We’ll present the latest breaking science news, long- and short-form stories, podcasts, webinars, and resources to propel research forward. We will focus in on reader preferences to ensure that each piece of content we send is relevant to our audience.
